The idea that the prisoners in Iraq are being tortured is so ignorant its almost funny to me. Please talk to Nick Berg about torture before you think making someone wear underwear on their head is a shameful and harmful act.

I'm glad Victor Davis Hanson's arguments have won over Bush.

Victor Davis Hanson and Michael Ledeen actually seem to understand what is going on in the Middle East, and in the larger picture.

Faster please.

What a sad day. I wonder how many innocent lives will be lost because our laws require us to make terrorists comfortable.

Correct. The terrorists will do whatever it takes to kill Americans. The United States will not do whatever it takes to protect Americans.

So you're saying that we're better off imprisoning and torturing innocent people than not?

That's what I like to hear! But why stop with terrorists? Let's torture our own rapists and murderers. That'll get people to stop raping and murdering. And while we're at it, bank robbers, armed or not. No more bank robberies if they know they're going to get the chinese water torture. And come to think of it, tax cheats. We spend too much damn money chasing down people who cheat on their taxes. Let's attach electrodes to their nipples. And god damn speeders too. We could reduce insurance premiums here in New Jersey if everyone would slow down. And what better way to make that happen than by chopping off a finger or two.

Why stop at law breakers? Just seems so narrow.
