Like you, I think this war was the right policy. I voted for Bush and knowing what I know today, I would vote for him again. Nevertheless it has been apparent to me for a long time that the ongoing pattern of harsh, inhumane treatment of prisoners is the result of deliberate policy that originates at a high level within the administration, probably from the president himself.
Like most people, I have no experience as an interrogator. Therefore I have no idea whether inhumane techniques are effective. But I do know that at best, they are a tradeoff. Even if these techniques succeed at extracting useful information, they do it at a cost. The cost is moral corrosion of our country's soul and damage to our country's reputation.

THE FUTURE OF POLITICAL CARTOONS UNDER McCAIN -FEINGOLD
Ah, blessed silence from the unfunny one. That said, I agree: it would be horrendous if McCain-Feingold wound up limiting the speech of bloggers, even if that meant Chris Muir would finally shut up.

Thanks for the compliment, Superhawk. Are you always this funny? Aptly named site, by the way.

I almost made a sound reminiscent of laughter while reading 1 and 3. Almost.
