 DC>   "Real torture"?  I really cannot believe that you
 DC>   have the inhumanity to even attempt to rate
 DC>   torture techniques.
 
 JF> There are also degrees of murder.  There are degrees in beatings,
 JF> ranging from a punch in the nose to getting bludgeoned with a lead
 
 DC>  And all result in various lenghts of prison sentences.  

 JF> You're avoiding the point. There are degrees in almost everything,
 JF> legal, illegal.  Seeing the degrees in murder doesn't mean you enjoy
 JF> murder.  Likewise with torture.

It still doesn't make them legal, does it.  
 
 DC>   I find it rather disgusting that supposedly civilized
 DC>   beings think that "just enough to not cross the line"
 DC>   isn't morally repugnant.
 
 JF> I find it twice as disgusting when someone doesn't do all they can
 JF> as a last resort to save innocent lives, just so they can look good in
 JF> front of the Mary Poppins crowd.

That's right, do what Dick Cheney asks and become as bad, even worse, than the
people you call evil are.  
 
 DC>  Is that how view people that declare their 
 DC>  morality and then live up to it?  

 JF> Letting innocent people die is living up to morality?
 
No one is "letting them die".  

 DC>   It must be much easier to claim to have that morality 
 DC>    and then play the hypocrite...  

 JF> You've been digressing to cryptic accusations.  Sometimes you have 
 JF> to get tough and outright brutal to get someone to tell you where the 
 JF> bomb is, or where the next terrorist attack is going to occur.  
 JF> Nothing hypocritical about that.  Illegal perhaps, but that's as far
 JF> as your parade goes.

It's not even cryptic.  If you are going to sleep with mangyu dogs you are
going to have that exact same smell.  2 wrongs do not make a right.  That only
demomstrates to the entire world that you really don't believe the moral
standards that you mouth.
