Ärende: WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
==========================

JF> other killers are  lurking and planning.  Your attempt to 
JF> equate this with what terrorists  and the like are 
JF> doing is slanderous and immoral.
  
DC>   What is immoral is doing the very deeds that you deplore...
 
JF>  Not at all.  We're not blowing up Mosques, flying planes into 
JF>  buildings, beheading people ... 

DC>  It only takes a matter of time.

   So you feel we're gonna go from waterboarding to beheadings?? 'Right.'
It's like you're saying, since the military shoots at people, it's only 
a matter of time before we round our enemies up and kill them in gas 
chambers.   Stretch something else to the breaking point, won't you?


DC>   As it strands, prisoners under US control
DC>   have been tortured to death.

  I am sure there is a freak example you can dredge up and parade down 
main street as if it were the rule, somewhere out there.  There are also 
examples where soldiers die from friendly fire.  Should we ban the use 
of rifles?



DD>    That must make yoy so very proud.  

  Since I have made clear the circumstances of which I would allow for 
waterboarding, this sort of juvenile poke is uncalled for Dan, and only 
denotes an emotional response resulting from the frustration you 
evidently feel from not being able to provide an argument against 
waterboarding other than to repeat the chant, 'torture'. 

    Again, the bottom line doesn't change, waterboarding isn't anything 
one can't get over of within minutes.  Why is it so difficult for you 
to acknowledge this?  Answer: because Bush was in charge.  Who we 
kidding this time?
