What happened to water purification?
Clearly there must be some means of extracting needed information. Someone has to set the boundries, though, as to where interogation ends and torture begins. And someone has to decide how far we are willing to go, considering our national moral standards and the rules of warfare and international law.
Thankfully, that someone isn't me.
If we cross that line somewhere, we have to be ready to accept the fact that we're not always the good guys -- and/or be ready to accept the consequences of our action(s).
A lot of people have decided we've crossed the line. So now it apparantely comes to who decided it was OK to do that, and what to do to/with those who were involved.
This isn't the first time it has happened, and, sadly, probably won't be the last. But, for the most part, I think we try to stay on the high side of the equation. As we should.
