(To post above me)
Do you also believe in a safe America? Girl, we live in a sick and twisted world. Get off your viewpoint that we live in a perfect world and realize we gota fight fire with fire.
I tell you, if I ever capture a insurgent that knows the whereabouts of my fellow Americans, there is absolutely NOTHING I would not do to get them to talk.
I talked to a Vietnam vet once. He said that if they needed the VC to talk, they would take a group up in a helicopter, ask one to talk and when he refused kick him out of the bird.
The others talked very quickly after that. We were fighting against a gorilla based enemy then, and once again we are today. I will do whatever it takes to save American lives. I'm tired of this political bull-****. It's time to kick *** and take names.

i think that there is a fine line between what is and isnt considered a war crime..i mean if you need valuable and dire info from someone, then get it, however you must...but it doesnt work that way in war, well it does now i guess, but where does that leave all of our soldiers who ARENT being beheaded? does it open the door for retaliation of some kind? i mean does it mean that other countries are going to abandon any type of regard in war crime?? it all scares me..i mean if the president can change this law, which really affects the rights of humans, what is he gonna do next? and what will his excuses and reasons be?? i just hope it doesnt start to change our rights as americans...BUSH freakin scares meeeee...hope i made sense=0)

You are an A$$-Hole! But even if you were my own son, no one, no power between heaven or hell, save God, could save the one who did this from my wrath. I would impose 1000X the suffering on that man, and/or that country, and pray for forgiveness from my God. It would be my mission in life. But then, you see, I am not a liberal like you.
I would say in summary, that any man who brought death to my son would have a problem.

I don't need my son's head to be cut of to support the intensive yet humane (by any standard of interrogation) use of information extraction from a COMBATANT WITHOUT A COUNTRY (who by the way has no Geneva doctrines governing his actions in combat, which makes him and his group criminals).
These animals are fair game. Just like they consider us fair game.
I went through survival school and endured more humiliation than these pukes are b itching about (or should I say their comrades in the democratic party).

I never did have a problem with it, actually. We have to stop being so politically correct when it comes to fighting a war.

Of course. You don't stop grieving the loss of a loved one by retribution. I would feel like getting revenge, but it really doesn't help - the loved one is gone forever and no matter what you do to the person who caused that loss, it won't take away the pain.

The America I Believe In doesn't torture people or use cruel, inhumane treatment. . . doesn't hold people without charge, without fair trials, without hope, and without end. . .doesn't kidnap people off the street and ship them to nations known for their brutality. . .doesn't condone prisoner abuse and excuse high-ranking government officials from responsibility for that abuse. . .doesn't justify the use of secret prisons. . .and does not rob people of their basic dignity.
A man can be a terrorist, a government should NOT be.
I believe in America's promise to the Geneva Convention.
