How do you know which of the however many people we've rounded up are terrorists and which just got caught in the net? You don't care because you just want somebody to suffer for what's been done to America.
The CIA says they only waterboarded three people since 9-11. Anyone who has any objections to the three bastards that were waterboarded has some very serious issues.
Where the fuck is all this evidence to back up the rhetoric that you people on the left are throwing around that many people are being waterboarded or tortured by our government?
The level of irresponsibility of you people making these claims is insurmountable and completely inexcusable under any circumstances.

You guys are pissed off because Osama and his crowd kicked our country in the nuts on 9/11. So am I. We've been chasing our own tails in Iraq instead of devoting every resource we have towards capturing Bin Laden, and if you're not pissed about that, you should be. You want justice, and so do I. I'm just not willing to become the enemy because of what the enemy did to us.
That is also completely ridiculous. How are you or any of us becoming the enemy by waterboarding or even killing enemy combatants?
We killed enemy combatants in every single conflict this country has been involved. What makes Islamic terrorists any different in your mind? They are actually far more ruthless than any other enemy faced previously, yet you fail to realize that fact. You are convinced that they are no different than a common criminal. You seem to think they are worthy of the same constitutional rights afforded a common criminal or US citizen.
That is a dangerous mode of thought.
It is also nothing but a lie to say that Osama Bin Laden or Afghanistan is being ignored. There are 40,000 coalition troops in Afghanistan.
Also, if you are so sure of the location of Bin Laden, maybe you should be out looking for him.
Capturing OBL is also not the end of the war against Islamic terrorism. Sometimes when I read stuff posted by certain people, I often wonder are we better off not capturing him. I wonder how much "rights" certain people will want to confer upon him.

You know, you guys point out the horrific things done by terrorists, the beheadings and so on. Well, in their minds, those actions are justified because of the horrible things they think America has done. Then you say torture is justified because they behead people and fly planes into buildings. You're using the same justification they are. Can't you see that?
Thanks for the terrorist point of view and justifying terrorists actions with your insane moral equivalencies.
People like you will wind up getting a lot of people in this country killed with that type of thinking.
