As I have said before, many who elect to stay the high ground on the issue of whether to waterboard or not or even torture or not. For those who have nothing invested....it is so easy to inteelectualize the concepts.

Now let's hypothesize an individual has information leading to the where abouts of YOUR family member(s) who are about to be beaten, raped, tortured and then beheaded. Now I wonder how far one would want the authorities to go to find the information needed to save the family.

Or how about he knows the where abouts of a nuclear device that may be planted in your home location.

I am all for do what ever it takes to get the information to save American lives.....for all you others I hope and pray you are never put in a position to have to EAT CROW on the subject.
