Besides, the people in that part of the world have CHOICES and they chose to take his life!

It's not an either/or. It's not a decision of waterboarding versus thug assaults before an execution. Besides - it was the LIBYANS doing the deed on Ghadaffi.
The discussion is how WE will present ourselves. The rules by which WE will act.
If we said it was torture in WWII, what changed between then and now? That's a question that NOBODY has answered. Remember, with the Japanese, we were in an official, DECLARED state of war with them. And yet, despite the fact that there WERE Japanese spies and saboteurs on our shores, we didn't torture.
