"I think that it's quite laughable considering the known methods of torture that Saddam used on his own people. Honestly Max, would you rather we beat, bludgeon, set fire to, electrify, ect them? "

That's a totally stupid argumemt and it assumes a lot.

If I say I'm against beating prisoners with rubber hoses, am I say I'd rather we beat tem with tire irons?

In a nutshell; This is a stupid, ugly, cruel way for US to behave; It has, at best, very questionble utility; it's BOUND to make us look bad when it comes out, It confirms for people all over the world that OUR talk of morality is hypocritical. It's a bad idea. Or are YOU saying you think having our female soldiers tart themselves up, jam their hands in their pants and spread fake menstrual blood on people's faces is a noble, patriotic and marvelous gesture of America's embrace of freedom?
