Tom, either we stand for something better than those we fight, or we don't

I have posted examples of innocent people that we have imprisoned and interrogated in this war on terror.

Let's ignore the fact that we went into this war based on a lie, for the moment. We HAVE tortured prisoners and some have been killed. Remember the blonde showing a thumbs up sign over the corpse of a dead prisoner?

Now put politics aside- are these actions something that you want done in your name? And answer the question: Would you not be howling in indignation if these things were done to OUR people?

Yeah it really sucks that those we fight dont 'follow the rules', but if we use that as an excuse to break the rules then we lose the ability to claim we are morally superior.

I think you are intelligent enough to understand this, If not then you are forbidden to make another post criticizing 'moral relativism'.
