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

    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.

    1st page of posts and what do I come across? Well, if you said the perfect perspective on the issue of torture, you'd be right! Give yourself a warm fuzzy (that's like a pat on the back for those of you from Rio Linde').

    If you are one of those that votef "NO", then you're a Liberal and I can't help you, nobody can!

    I know that obama supports torture. How do I know? I know because that is what he has been doing to this nation since his first day in office.-Tyr
    18 U.S. Code § 2381-Treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

    if you knew torturing one bad guy would save just one good life, would you still oppose it?

    and don't play semantics, torturing in my scenario is the only way to save the life.
