That basically sums it up. Most people agree that torture doesn't work.

that's not true. The whole "torture" debate is due to the fact that terrorist aren't recognized under US law and the Geneva convention. It's precisely why torture is able. And for people saying credibility is shot because people will say anything is bullshit. You're right. People might say anything at first. Course once we find out that its wrong it all starts over until the right information is given. I'm for some torture...terrorists aren't held under the Geneva convention and they definitely aren't subject to US law. They don't have the right to an attorney or to due process or any other rights. This is because they ARE NOT US CITIZENS. US citizens have these rights because they subscribe to US laws and what they can and can't do. Terrorists have no respect for people, especially the people they are attacking. They don't belong to a country so its hard to track them down to one static location. |

I oppose any and all forms of torture mental or physical. For one, it is un-american to be pro-torture, and we all know what a patriot I am, breaking the law everyday as to engage in recreational endeavors...but seriously, fuck torture. It isn't accurate in it's extraction methods...often under extreme mental or physical duress people will say anything just to make the torture stop. Albeit attaining information such ways is lazy and illogical. I view torture of "suspected" terrorists no more than a means of wasting time rather than doing some actual investigative work. And I don't think torturing people is any way to investigate the crimes of a terrorist.

Not to mention the Military Commissions act that gives the president the ability to declare enemy combatants as they see fit and take away the right to habeus corpus. This is new legislation, it'll be too late before we realize how fucked we truly are.
