there is just way too much intellectualizing a subject that CANNOT be determined solely on armchair politics/opinions/feelings/BS/etc.

As I stated earlier...until or unless you are personally invested in the situation at hand you simply cannot make a determination....you can ONLY represent an emotional preference.

Forget the past and the Japanese and all the other fluff around the CURRENT issue(s) of getting information from terrorists to save American lives!!
