If so then do you have any family and loved ones?
One stupid hypothetical deserves another.

OH YEAH TORTURED LIBERAL LOGIC !
*.
The Answer is either a simple : Yes -or- No
*.

Conservative logic - Torture works.

Liberal Logic - outing CIA agents is OK unless it's Valerye Plame.

Liberals
did not decry?

Liberal Logic - Clinton Assassinating Usama Bin laden is OK but Bush
Waterboarding Bin Laden is a crime against humanity.

Some of this is just verbiage. *Would you use the word "assassinating"
in relationship to what a swat team does to a hostage holding bank
robber?

-*The distinction between appropriate and
- inappropriate use of force is quite important.

Not To The Person Who Is The Subject Of The Use
Of Physical Force and/or Emotional Trauma Which
Results In Pain, Suffering and/or Their Death.
