I'll back you up on this when you develop an even-handed view and stop beating this torture story to death. Yeh, we know, Ty - the US is torturing people.
Here's a tip - It isn't a central issue in the debate over anything we're doing in the world. It's small issue liberals have glommed onto so they can give themselves a moral pedestal. It's a lot like the dumbass liberals who immediately after 9/11 started crying loudest about how we had to be careful not to become prejudiced toward foreigners.
No. Shit. Those points are implied and obvious. I don't like the torture we're using, but I'm not losing sleep over it. Nor am I cynically using it to give me platform moral gravitas the way so many liberals have.
It's a secondary issue. When you treat it with the limited attention it deserves and stop milking it, I'm sure Slave will play nice.
