Torture vs. Interrogation

[Professor S]

I think this whole debate has taken a very poor turn. It seems that people no longer want to debate the merits of arguments, but instead simply want to make blanket statements of opinion pretending to be fact. Ending comments with "Period" or "This is that and thats it" don't make your opinion any more valid, especially when the evidence that would answer the debate is still classified. So far we've only seen exactly what they want you to see, and I find it hard to come to a conclusion when half of the evidence may be under lock and key.

This is a complex issue for the reasons I've illustrated in previous posts in this thread, and it would become even more complex if we are ever attacked again. Can you feel strongly? Yes, but to claim this is black and white doesn't reflect enlightenment, it only frees you from having to think about the subject any further.
