Explanation:
As newspapers and documentary films continue to discuss waterboarding and other controversial treatments of suspected terrorists, the debate over torture remains intense. Some insist that desperate times call for desperate measures, but others are baffled that such methods could exist in a civilized society. Is physical persuasion ever an appropriate means of interrogation?

Intent and Just War Theory
GOD SAVAGE US
We've become an arrogant war mongering nation led by Pres Bush. If I said ask our allies what they think of the US unilateral acts of war and torture, you would agree that our own allies think we are off the scale. IF WE ARE RIGHT IN WAR and TORTURE WHY ARE OUR ALLIES IN DISAGREEMENT? Oh, right, they're just as weak headed as the liberals in the US. We have become so arrogant our allies can't stand with us.
Were the WWII Japanese and Nazi terrorists any less so than the islamic fundamentalists of today?

I don't know where you've been but let's see. England,Ireland,Austrailia,Canada just to name a few have all sent troops along side ours. So unilateral acts? I'm sure our good ally friends are offended at that statement.
