Yea, I know what you mean about the people that make the rules.
When you personalize something, it makes a difference.
Let’s say somebody is buried in a box and when the air runs out, they die. You have the person that buried that person. You ask them where they are, they don’t say. So you ask where and say please. They still don’t answer. So you ask again and say pretty please. You think that’s gonna get it? Now suppose that buried person is your 3 year old child. Does that make a difference? Well, anytime anyone is in danger, it is ‘someone’s’ child.
So should coereced interrogation be permitted?
Is it info that will have an input or danger to someone, will it save a life or lives?
The answer is yes.

So the correct answer is, it depends on the results.
PC? who cares?

“Senate Figleaves Being Handed Out In Xtra Large CYA Size”

Made me laugh…..your label sure fits. My Yahoo home page usually has at least 2 Bushbashers running in the little news block. This was covered as Bush Revolt, Bush problem with GOP, Bush …..whatever. Then I started noticing they reallllly had to stretch it with the theme of Bush sending up compromise, Bush trying to offer new wording……etc.

Bush = bad torturing loser. McCain = moral authority winner.

Someone find some XtraXtra because you know it’s bad when you see Frist smile. After not being able to handle them, I swear I saw him almost crack a grin and have heard several Senators who seem to be holding up a sign that says ‘don’t look at me as being part of this crazy bunch’.

Well, I despise PC., although it can be pretty humorous at times. I remember one that called a short person verrically chanllenged. Or a garbage man a sanitary engineer. The sad thing about the people who think up this nonsense is that they don’t see it as nonsense, but as fairness to all. And how about giving a prize to all participants so that there will be no losers. PC does no favors to our kids. They will have to enter the real world sometime and will be shocked at how unfair the real world really is. You know, the people who think up these things don’t live in our world. I worked many times with as a bookkkeper with social workers, pschologists, teachers etc. Very few of them have any common sense and absolutely no money sense. I find it distressing that these kind of people are now making the rules.

You guys think you are kidding, but if we keep on the way we are going all this will happen. You know what Shakespeare said “First we kill all the lawyers”.

Merlin, and several years later the poor guy that was aiming(he never did get to fire) finally got his lawsuit settled. The terrorist sued him for putting him in mental distress, inhumane torture for aiming at him.
The terrorist is now living in the troopers house in downtown Atlanta.

A bit of satirical takeoff on the potential impacts of all this whole issue I saw on a millblogger site I read commenting about an article in the WallStreet Opinion Journal

Eagle1 was the poster
http://www.mudvillegazette.com/milblogs/

To quote

Somewhere out there the gods of law are laughing their heads off.

Soon, in a combat theater near you, the 82nd Airborne will be dropped into combat against terrorists. Additional aircraft will drop into combat the 666th Combat Defense Attorney Brigade (the legendary C-DABS). As each trooper in the 82nd lines up a shot at a terrorist aiming at him, one set of the 666th CDAB attorneys will file a motion with the Combat Field Judge asserting that the trooper is about to violate the rights of the jihadist at whom he is aiming. The trooper’s counsel will point out the imminent danger faced by his client and will assert “self defense” – meanwhile, the jihadist is blazing away at the trooper, ignoring the temporary injunction papers being waved at him by the Combat Marshal.

Other members of the terrorist group are gunning down members of the 666th Brigade as they try to present their business cards and establish an attorney-client relationship. Eventually the terrorists run out of ammunition only to discover that their AK-47s have not come close to being able to damage the American military as will the legal system about to invoked on their behalf by American law.

CDAB deaths will always be high, but given the ever-increasing number of American law schools cranking out an endless stream of unnecessary attorneys looking for work, the losses will be quickly replaced.
