thankyou foratv., great disscussion, good people. Torture by the State was a gift from the Vatican, tortured forever, Catholics 400 year Inquisition, killing was too easy torture was the proper protocal. Martin Luther was not against torture, all Monarchy tortured always, Nazi, Stalin, Mao, Americans, all torture, Hiroshima was a form of Torture, especially Nagasaki was totally unnecessary, TORTURE was inherited through Religion, Nothing New Here, it`s a bloody history, Industrialized Killing of Alfred Nobel, therefore Peace prize to General OBAMA! Tradition of WARS which always includes torture. Torture in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Iraq, Newyork-USA, torture is everywhere, always has been!

I am 67,I will admit I have not been a responsible citizen never voting never wanting to get involved. But I'm starting to find out that because I never wanted to get involved, it has come back to haunt me. (me and several other citizens) Our leaders are the one's that got us into this continuing turmoil. Our leaders are not doing the will of the people in my opinion. Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state. Thomas Jefferson

Torture is said to be wrong and ineffective. Why would our military use it? Do they know something we dont or is our military leadership making egregious errors. That said, the media discussions about our specific behaviors during a time of war is treason. The prison pictures should not have been distributed and all contributing parties to the disclosure and dissemination of them should be held accountable. They must be tried and convicted and jailed as appropriate. Vince Warren, Ron Susskind, and Jeremy Scahill, are each polarizing parasites during a time of armed conflict. Their pompous five minutes of fame is at to great a price to soldiers and civilians in harms way. Their book educated but simple naive minds can not think of real on-the-ground consequences of data and specific support being provided to enemies. It just goes on and on in true parasite fashion while our boys and girls die more frequently and conflicts continue inpart because of theirs and others foul flatulent mouths and egos. They are part of an "I am the judge answer to me crowd" with no answers just more pain for everyone but themselves. They thrive in the continued turmoil.

Good luck dear Americans, it's hard to find shelter when the cold raw wind blows from inside and the men of power close all the windows for protection.
