I know you love me really.

More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

I don't know. Has anybody tried it? Or, maybe, gotten a psychologist in there?

Okay, here's a conservative throwing it around.

Torture

The US endorses torture.
We're torture king.
The other superpowers to endorse torture include China, the USSR and Nazi Germany. The little guys who do include Israel, Saudi Arabia, Saddam Hussein's Iraq, NK, and a few truly disasterous third world dictatorships like Zimbabwe. Wow, what great company we're in. BTW, all of those countries except for Israel and Saudi Arabia have socialist in the name of their govt.

When the Bush admin went on tilt and started openly backing torture, it violated not only the Geneva convention, but it violated a US law banning the use of torture by American forces or people acting on their behalf.

Jesse Helms wrote that law.

Is that conservative enough for you?

This isn't a left right issue, it's a human issue. I'm a human, I have no idea what you are. Maybe you're a troll.

Kaneman,

When you have your genitals crushed, your fingers pulled off, your bones broken and teeth knocked out with a hammer, let us know how you like it.

Because these are first hand accounts by Iraqis and Afghans with photos and videotape which I've seen online.

Sure, I can hear it now "it's all faked",

Listen. I balance the evidence, and weigh the odds.
Who's story more likely, given the evidence. The guys with a camp that looks just like auschwitz, or the guy with no fingers or teeth?

BTW,

On the whole creep-o-meter - to all you pro-torture conservatives, which includes all you torture-denial conservatives - the rest of us really don't appreciate your support. I know there's a solid majority of conservatives on this forum which oppose torture.

I hope when some actual conservative comes to power they prosecute these sons of bitches, all the way to the top. I support a zero tolerance policy on the cr@p.

I'll agree with that part.

I aim to misbehave.

I don't think it matters what 'everyone' thinks. As I read it, it's only what the ICC thinks that counts.
Since Pelosi ruled out impeachment, and the ICC is empowered to take action specifically in countries that aren't pursuing war crimes, it puts it in the ICC's jurisdiction. What do you think the ICC might say?
