I think everyone knows that recently in the media there has been talk about waterboarding and whether or not it’s torture. I have to ask this question, does anyone else think its crazy that we are even asking this question? of course its torture and of course its wrong and whether or not your torturing someone for important information or not its still wrong! It’s actually quite funny, the United States started off saying “We don’t torture!” then it moved to “We may torture…” then it became “We have tortured and will do it again”. So what makes the United States any better then their enemies? Nothing. The United States has continually said one thing and has done the other, they have continuously done the same things they say they despise and they are becoming worse then those they claim to fight! This really ties in with the whole weapons of mass destruction in Iraq thing, they began saying one thing so that we would believe them and join them, once everyone was on board and already fully committed they come out and say that it was all a bold face lie. They lied and we know it, yet we still support them. By support I mean the governments of the west…not really people because I know few people who actually support the wars that the United States have started, at least here in Canada, I can’t really say what it’s like in the United States itself. I recently saw a clip from a 60 minutes episode with Supreme Court Justice Scalia and when the reporter asked “If someone is in custody (referring to a terror suspect) and is brutalized by a law enforcement officer does cruel and unusual punishment apply?” hes answer shortly was “No” he goes on to say “Has anyone ever referred to torture as punishment?” so basically because you can say your not punishing the terror suspect your just beating the living crap out of them, smart. I certainly hope I’m not the only one that is scared of the fact this man is on the Supreme Court of the United States of America, because with people like that making decisions you can only imagine whats next….
