Obama...

2 things

1) I know its TV, but the new season of 24 centers around this very issue. What would you do to stop a terrorist attack? How far would you go? What if killing 1 terrorist provides information that saves 1 american? 100? 1000?100000?

2) Karl Rove made a great comment about this last night. Obama is willing to punish people that differ in POLICY, not the LAW. That is a dangerous slope. And he has flip flopped AGAIN. He said early on there would be no prosecutions, now, he says he is open to it. This after meeting with Chavez and castro................


Im sorry, but there is a time and place for diplomacy, and there is a time for torture with reason. I would stand behind torture if it SAVES AMERICAN LIVES.

The people saying that torture is wrong, are the same people that are bitching about "why didnt we stop 9/11 before hand"

Obama cannot say we are safer NOW after he has only been in office 4 months. Bush kept us safe for over 7 years.

Time will tell if Obamas approach is effective

Theres a difference between the law and "exploiting the loopholes in the law that allow us to use torture". And from what I heard its actually Eric Holder and the DOJ who are seeking prosecution.

It seems like they are not so much going after those who executed the torture as those who authorized it's use.
