Back atcha, asshole. I guess you don't like sarcastic responses to

I had a much longer question. ...... Put aside the run of the mill people who were tortured, that was wrong.

Congratulations. I had hoped that eventually we'd get past the sarcasm targeted for pussified liberals who have the temerity to be concerned about torture conducted, permitted, or condoned by US forces, and come up with a concession, however grudging, that in some cases it might, you know, not be such a good idea.

Pakistan comes to us- they tortured some Al Queda guy and the guy says there's a cell in Peoria- What do we do?
Put aside the run of the mill people who were tortured, that was wrong. But the no. 3 Al Queda guy- we left him in Pakistan for a reason- is that okay?

Look, if Musharraf calls and say "Hi there, we flayed a guy in Islamabad, he's all over the fuckin' walls now, but anyhoo, we think you should cover Peoria," of course you go.
But I'm not a fan in the first place of the CIA's frequent flier program to drop off detainees at sun-splashed Club Meds around the world to have them, ah, "mistreated" on our behalf.
I remain impressed at the creativity of the apologists on this board in their line-drawing skills. Club's OK with having the women (I assume he's limiting it to the women) raped if they committed a grave offense. You're apparently OK with it if it just happens in messy places like Kabul.
