U.S. Supreme Court questions claim of secrecy over post-9/11 torture

When it comes to terrorists I believe all options are on the table and should be appropriately and reasonably utilized if necessary to extract whatever important information we can use to save and safeguard the lives of Americans.

Torture only produces the truth you want whether it's true or not.

It depends worked well on KSM

America was built on moral values and torture is not one of them. Justice for all.

Not for terrorists

At the high point, more than 800 men and boys were held at GITMO. Many of them were tortured.

According to whom?

Most were released and now only 30 remain. Only 10 of those are considered dangerous.

And they should stay there until their last days.

It has been proven torture does not work.

Bush said waterboarding was not torture.

i disagree with the first and I definitely agree with Bush on that statement.

Torture is not only immoral and ineffective, it sets a precedent. Your enemies will be more likely to use it against your own.

Torture is not only immoral and ineffective, it sets a precedent.

Some people think that and I deeply respect those viewpoints, but I vehemently disagree with them.

Your enemies will be more likely to use it against your own.

Probably, still doesn’t change my mind

It’s amazing how some posters claim to be all about American ideals and then embrace torture

Just because I value the pursuit of happiness and freedom doesn’t mean I wouldn’t defend my loved ones, my home or nation and would do ANYTHING TO PROTECT IT. You can walk and value both. America just like every other country wasn’t won just by negotiations So I would stand by the olive branch but would also carry a bunch of arrows with me as well.
