Good grief - that's the kind of excuse my KIDS used when they were SEVEN (well, someone else was worse!)

The question asked in this thread is...WHICH IS WORSE...
The waterboarding of THREE people who had distinct and clear terrorist crimes behind them and ties,
OR
The killing and maiming of faceless citizens that we deem as terroist because they live in a specific area of the country ?
If you think the first is the most severe as it seems you and others do, please explain how that difference is made....3 folks waterboarded to hopefully get information to save lives versus the killing of unknown and unknown folks because of where they live !!!
If you think the second is the worse, why are you not on here condemning that practice instead of still dwelling on the waterboarding of 3 people ?
The question is not simply for DJPLONG, but all of those who posted a few times a day to condemn the waterboarding and who still do but ignore the drone bombing ! It appears that most of you favor the killing of folks who may or may not be guilty of either terrorism or even the serious crime of living where they live ! DJPLONG, by his own admission is really up to date on the history of, and the law concerning waterboarding but has to have time to get some more facts on the killing by drones !
You may think this is minor...I think it is major. It speaks to the POLITICS, and POLITICS only of those self righteous folks who found it necessary to call the past president names and to blame him for crimes of treason and torture.
Please, respond....it actually speaks to a number of folks total credibility !
