Torture? Abuse?

Not that I expect anyone to care much but I guess it is time I put my opinion of the torture and abuse issue(s) in this blog.

What I find the most frightening about all this isn't that the CIA or some military personel may have used techniques that were a bit out of hand and perhaps a bit rougher than some liberal can stomach. No, I find it frightening that the Left Democrats have removed themselves so far away from a unified and balanced America where we have relied on people with the ability to do things others could not or would not do to protect all of us. In the past we understood these tactics were sometimes needed and when they were no longer needed we just let them go away and be forgotten. Yet now we have a group who has come into power and who wants to attack and possibly put on trial Americans who were protecting these same liberals in the best and fastest way they could think of.

My first point is that these very same liberals need to remember its only three and a half years to the next presidential election and one year to the start of the next congressional election. You seriously don't want to be on the other end of a witch hunt I am sure.

My second point is this: These men who were questioned were not soldiers, they were not in uniform, they are not part of any legal or world recognized country. The Geneva convention does not apply to them. They do not have any real rights while operating in civilian dress and covertly. By all established laws they could have been hung immediatly when they were found to be covert agents ie..... Terrorists. Soldiers get honorable treatment under the convention, Terrorists DO NOT and SHOULD NOT!

Lastly if these techniques are torture than I have been tortured myself for reasons from hazing to education. I have submitted to torture just to be aware of how I could be treated if captured. The closest thing I have seen mentioned to true torture would be the waterboarding and honestly with the way these agents were doing it (Yes there are many ways to waterboard) it could maybe be called torture of the very lowest level. Annoying? Certainly. Fear instilling? Yep but not really from drowning as you can still breath, but more from not being in control and knowing you really can't do anything but take it. If what they have shown is torture then simply being locked up in a cell is torture by this example.

By making an issue out of all of this the leftist liberals have almost assured a swift and (truely)tortuous death to any American soldier who is captured. By publishing these pictures and making all this public, and therefore available to terrorist groups that mean to harm Americans, the Obama administration and other Democrats currently in office are, in my opinion, commiting treason and sedition. With each hearing and each statement these "officials" set the groundwork to be a target of the next witch hunt in Washington.

Next they will get Jane Fonda back out and start giving muslim terrorist groups all over the world financial aid and have Obama assign them Tarp money.
