    Exactly. I condemn torture in any shape or form, done under the guise of covert ops or openly by any government. What infuriates me is the attempt at pseudo-justification-legalization where torture is now OK in certain cir stances, even though doing that s all over our justice system and what it represents to the world. I certainly was hoping for change in policy WRT this but it hasn't happened...

    Yeah, many people were expecting the Nixon Administration to change that, but unfortunately it didn't happen.

    If torture is good for terrererests, then perhaps one day it will be good for....federal drug offenses. Remember when we accepted the death penalty for someone deemed to be a 'drug kingpin'? Put "drugs" on it and no expenditure is too great and no punishment is too severe in these United States.

    There's a history of techniques and technology finding their way from military use to civilian law enforcement. Still, the elimination of judge, jury, and the Cons ution is a bit much, don't you superheroes think?

    Waterboard(ing) is torture regardless of what Cheney says it's torture -
    Awkward. Leave the clause rounded off, and omit the verbal particle. This threw me first time through.

    Waterboarding is torture regardless of what Cheney says. Agree 100%.

    and the exact same reasoning applies to treaties like the Geneva Conventions.
    Unclear, unless you mean Geneva remains in force despite the self-granted US exceptions to it. I would hardly expect you to make this case, but stranger things have happened.
