Carter Says U.S tortures Prisoners

People don't torture because it's a good interrogation method, they torture because they enjoy it.

Are you a sadist?
I'm so thankful we have people like you that seem to know everyone's inner thoughts.

:notworthy

I'm equally thankful we have people that are more knowledgeable about interrogations than the actual people that do the interrogations.

Bill Clinton and...

I wonder how you will spin this. It's from the today's Washington Post. I'm sorry it's not online at the moment, but I've typed it in for those of you who don't get the post. These aren't liberal tree huggers. They are professional military men who have dealt with torture from both side of the experience. To the man, they all state it doesn't work, and we shouldn't be doing it.
...John Kerry and Hillary Clinton all supported the invasion of Iraq. So, what's your point?

You think our President is a war criminal for invading Iraq, yes? You think our Vice President is a war criminal and a profiteer, right? You think US troops murder and rape and pillage regularly, correct? You think Blackwater is a bunch of blood thirsty mercenaries, right? You think we are no better than Osama bin Laden or Saddam, correct?

Remember early in the war when a US officer threatened to execute an Iraqi POW with his sidearm unless the bad guy gave up some piece of information? Remember the outrage in the media? Then you may also remember numerous reports coming to the officers defense that the information he extracted save the lives of his men.

So, based on your responses, there is slim chance we will ever agree on what is appropriate in terms of how we treat our enemies in response to a grave danger.

Right?

Bush is losing the war on terror specifically because his tactics and actions are a PRIME motivator for the jihadis to take up arms against us.
unless you have adopted Islam as your Religion you are still a prime target for Jihadist's Bush had little to do with it ...........

When Hillary gets into the WH do you honestly believe the practices will come to a stop?
.......... ( I know news flash ) part of me would love to see Hillary win, and watch the left wingers in the DU and MoveOn stew for 4 more yrs as Hillary supports the war and the democraptic congress does nothing to bring the troops home ........... watch the libs try to explain it all away :whistle:

We're already there. The dems promised to get us out when they took Congress. And for lack of a real solution to the problem they just maintain their blame Bush game.

...and to listen to her parse statements on how what CIA would then be doing isn't torture like it was before. A kinder, gentler torture. :lmao:

Sold your soul to the Devil have you?

Maybe you didn't see my last post, where professional interrogators and POW's have stated that torture doesn't work, and we ought not to be doing it.

But go ahead and listen to Prezdint Bush, he's the expert you should listen too.

...our nations enemies you could say yes. And there is no debate; torture works. If you'd let innocent people die because you are unwilling to do what is necessary to get a life saving piece of information, I call that sadistic in the darkest possible sense.

Nice sidestep. I've just give you testimony from experts on torture and you still think it works. I guess that means you enjoy torture.

Even if it is our enemies, enjoying their torture still makes you a sadist. I think they have some work for you in Burma. Plenty of work for torturers there.

You’re being obtuse. You can also apply the same to soft interrogation tactics. Sometimes they don’t work either. Are you trying to tell us that “torture” has never yielded valuable information?

...read very well. Go to post 60 and read it again. Read it real slow. Get you some help if you need it.

You can find information where some people say it's not a good idea. You can find inforamtion where some say it is. If you are not able to find this information, for your own self, get whomever helped you read post 60 to help you google torture.

Further, look at you; you enjoy torturing people in here, every day, arguing a viewpoint that you know, intellectually, many people disagree with and whom ask you to debate specific points in specific questions You refuse to do that because you know it bothers them. Thus, you are sadistic. And further proof that torture works is that ANYONE even tries having a conversation with you knowing that you will not debate a given point.

So, you are sadistic as you do this for pleasure and you know it works.

:popcorn: This guy calls "foestal" a torturer and sadistic here,

but the USA gov physically locking prisoners in horrible conditions, and tie their bodies in painful positions and abuse the prisoners thereafter, those are acceptable and non-sadistic in his reasoning.

This is a guy that can dish it out but can not take even the words that hit back.:diva:

...our energy problems!

Here's what we do; you and forestal take turns helping one another read post 60 and we'll hook cables up to your temples. The friction created by the sides of your brains competing between what it says and the effort you both put into not understanding what it says has got to generate heat and, viola, that energy goes down the cables and hooks to the grid and we got power!

:buddies: The imfamous post # 60 is quoted above and link HERE.

This is not a true comparison because no innocent person is being saved except in their self righteous and false justification to abuse prisoners.

What we really have is not innocent people being rescued - but prisoners being unjustly and unlawfully and inhumanely tortured. That is the reality as that is what is really going on and not that pretended rescue of innocent people.

There are no innocent people being saved as it is only a false claim to justify wrong-doing.

The injustices and immorality that the USA keeps pushing onto the whole world makes us all guilty of our national sins and criminality so there are no innocent Americans to protect because we are a guilty Country and we all share that same guilt in the USA.

Prisoners JPC, not some innocent bystanders. They are terrorists. They want you and I dead. I know you think it will never happen to you or is no big deal, but I don't want it to happen again and I trust that our government interrogates these prisoners in a manner that is in the best interest of this country and its national security. It's obvious you don't, which makes everything I am writing a waste of time, but your fear mongering against our government does nothing but embolden and encourage the enemy.
