Re: What'd they think was going on there, some kind of day spa?

I get upset over people pleading for the rights of people who are in detainment facilities like gitmo. The people/terrorists/insurgents don't like the American way of life, our values, or our beliefs but they feel like they are entitled to a fair shake in our courts. I know that this article is specifically about physical and emotional torture but the principle is still the same. To coin a well worn cliche sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. There aren't, to my knowledge, any documented cases of death as a result of "torture" by American troops but there are videos of Americans and Brits and others having their heads lobbed off. You can't fight animalistic behavior with reason and diplomacy.
