I don't need to convince people whose morality says no torture ever. But for those who believe that National Security overrides morality - I have the argument - which is pushed by people such as John McCain - that torture does not help our National Security, but in fact hurts it. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison |

Put simply, there are crimes against men, and there are crimes against humanity ... torture is against humanity. Its' evil permeates every level of evil with exists. The fact that serial killers would pay you for the job of torturing those people it would committed on is a good indication of just how evil it is ... Regards, JS |
