I am opposed to Obama being President but seeing the Bush people punch him up on moral points about torture is too much. There is no torture in crime enforcement or the history of War in America. lets think about this. its spooky. first its simply immoral to torture people to get informantion or compliance. Thats truly Hitler/stalin tactics. Yes one wants to stop attacks but on this equation every soldier ever caught could be tortured to reveal the truth. would one torture a Union or confederate soldier to get info to win a battle and lower ones caustitiy rate? why not? Is the life on these soldiers less important then anyone today? who is being saved by the torture revelations? Its like they are saying civilians can't have their lives risked more then soldiers. In short it is American establishment policies that brought these problems too America. Shorter yet. America has picked sides in the middle east and so is at war when there is war. She must put up with attacks , though called terrorist, as in any war. Not a innocent bystander. In the melee is she. so with this in mind it should be no problem to enforce moral standards, based on christian morality, that America has always had on torture. There Obama that's called thinking. AMEN.
