A critical point. If you allow evidence gotten through Torture, you are accepting Torture as being legal. It is of course a violation of our Federal Anti-Torture Laws.

Keep the pressure on to prosecute the Torturers.
If Obama doesn't he is Soft On Crime

Dear Seasnake, Youu sound like a nice young man with high ideals but naive and inexperienced. Torture? I served in the Army with a survivor of the Bataan Death March, and know people who survived 9/11. They'll take waterboarding (some did during SERE training) anytime rather than beheading, slowly. Savages? Maybe you read Rousseau's work on this but it ain't real. How else would you describe animals that load kids and or women with bombs
and send them in to kill people – and themselves. How do you describe a culture that demeans women and denies them any basic human rights. ACLU? Founded by Roger Baldwin, a member of the Communist Party, USA. What else do you need to know? What do you want to be when you grow up?

gtb6666. These ignorant comments fail to realize the magnificent work being done every day for human rights by the ACLU. Not only are individual injustices being challenged and those who have been unfairly imprisoned freed, but unfair and unjust bills are challenged and often successfully opposed.
A large part of the freedoms which we share today is a direct result of past work by the ACLU. To call these ongoing fights for democracy anti-American is an absurdity.
Given a choice, no-one would like to be water boarded, which is being repeatedly drowned, having water go down your trachea (windpipe) into your lungs. One of the victims of waterboarding was drowned in this way 183 times!
When you call other people savages, you are showing great ignorance and prejudice. One of the victims of American soldiers was savagely beaten on the legs with his hands handcuffed to the ceiling of his cell for 4 days until he died. At his autopsy all the muscles of his legs had been beaten to a pulp. He was an innocent taxi-driver. Imagine if your own father or you were treated this way! You might think that those who beat you in this cruel way were savages! Human Rights organizations have revealed that more than 100 prisoners of the USA have been tortured to death during the Bush era. I would be most interested to know which enemy of the USA you think that the ACLU has supported. I imagine that they too would be very interested to find out which enemy they supported !

All of these brutalities must give us cause to reflect on our own moral and ethical standards !

Torture huh? The ACLU has always manifested a strong sense of support for any enemy of America. Given a choice, I would choose to be waterboarded rather than have my head cut off, slowly. The ACLU doesn't realize that when dealing with a savage, primitive enemy, you need to somehow get their attention. A couple of pours and they may suddenly find reason to believe that maybe the Deity is not on their side
