Torture? Hmmm...

What constitutes torture? Are you for it or against it?

Let's think this way:
Suppose your child, spouse or loved one has been taken hostage. The hostage taker will have them killed. You capture the hostage taker but they refuse to talk.

To what lengths would you go to get your child (or loved one) back? At what point would you say "that's torture, let my child (or loved one) die?"

What if it were you who was taken hostage?

Now, let's take that child, loved one or yourself and make it America (of which you and your loved ones are a part by the way.) How do you feel now? I cannot answer that. It is up to you.

There are fine lines no doubt. But we should think before we damn something.
