    Couldn't agree more
    which has its roots in nazism.
    No, it has its roots in the evolution of life.
    Watch a cat play with a mouse. The cat isn't even looking for information.
    The US soldiers who inflicted torture at abu ghraib deserve to be charged with warcrimes.Rumsfeld should also be made to step down from office.
    Again, couldn't agree more.

    Ppl who do things like that don't deserve to be protected I say torture is called for in cases like that where someone could die if you don't find out what you need to know quickley.

    and supposing you pick up the wrong person? Or how about you don't manage to pick up the nutjob, but you pick up his friend.

    Cheers for the discussion people - I'll bow out for the time being, until some new points are being made.

    For those joining the debate - please read the previous posts first. You are just ignoring the answers to your posts and rehashing old material.
