Do you support torture?

[SpidermanTUba]

A yes/no question.

[Dilloduck]

A yes/no question.

only if it's not me being tortured.

[Mr. P]

A yes/no question.

Depends.

[SpidermanTUba]

Depends.

That would be a 'yes' then.

[MtnBiker]

Is this an attempt to dissuade a Mrs Bill Clinton presidency?

[theHawk]

Yes, because it can and does work. Of course not all the time, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try it if lives are at stake.

[82Marine89]

A yes/no question.

What's your definition of torture?

[Mr. P]

That would be a 'yes' then.

or a 'no', depends.

[nevadamedic]

Yup, especially if it's a Muslim.

[manu1959]

no ...... so please stop posting......

[NATO AIR]

No.

There is still no compelling, believable evidence that it works.

It goes against our nation's values, especially those of whom would be ordered to torture someone (the military, law enforcement, intelligence). Their ethos is totally against it... especially in the military, from our founding father on Earth (George Washington) to our more recent leaders like Gen. Eisenhower & Patton.

Its known to perversely weaken unit discipline and professionalism, as has been seen in isolated cases in the war zones abroad of the WOT.

We could go on for days about this.

NOT JUST NO BUT HELLLLLLLLLLL NO!

LOL, "no evidence??"

Washington - A former CIA agent says captured al-Qaeda leader Abu Zubaydah was subjected to waterboarding, an interrogation method that critics view as torture, US media reported Tuesday. Retired CIA officer John Kiriakou said he regrets the agency's use of the mock-drowning technique, but believed at the time that it was a legitimate way to prevent further terrorist strikes after the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington.

Waterboarding broke Zubaydah, an associate of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, in less than 35 seconds and the next day he agreed to cooperate with interrogators, Kiriakou told ABC television.

"He said that Allah had come to him in his cell and told him to cooperate, because it would make things easier for his brothers," he told the Washington Post.

....thats evidence enough for me.


No one is suggesting that it should be regular practice, but it is something our terror-fighting agencies should have the option of doing if they deem it necessary.

the question posed is not a simple yes or no, for example:

yes or no

Who doesn't?

Depends. The question, like the OP question, is not specific enough to answer.
