To me it's a bit of a dichotomy...the whole point of the immoral practice of torture is to morally save lives and get information. At least that's one theory.

Kind of disappointed that this thread hasn't stimulated some thought.
I think it's fascinating. How people maintain (or don't maintain) their morals while trying to protect themselves. I think it is to the credit of America, that we are not using Syria's techniques. Yet. |

read the wikipedia entry in this thread.
the equivalent would be this: Al Qaeda attacks, and half the men in Gitmo are executed. Attack in an Iraqi town. Thousands of casualties in the town as tanks and artillery come in. It's doing things like the Romans did them. Absolutely ruthless until all rebellion is suppressed. |

Soldiers often do dumb things. Things which get them court marshalled, and jailed. You've never heard of soldiers doing dumb things before? Military history is replete with even the best armies doing dumb things, that's why war is so unpredictable. You've never ever explained or justified the "fatwa of death".
