I have spent many happy hours arguing exactly that with California
Police officers......My wife's grandson-in-law happens to be one. In
many cases they agree with my position on the matter.

This is the ChrisH School of Reasoning. If you know one person who
shares your opinion, that means "everyone" agrees with you.

I had a police officer explain matters to me this way:

"If you shoot me when I come to enforce a gun ban, I won't hold it
against
you."

Many police disagree with some of the laws that they are required to
enforce, but they do their jobs anyway.

They shouldn't. "It is the responsibility, not the right, of good men
to disobey bad laws." - Spencer Tracy, in "Judgment at Nuremberg."

So how come the US military is still using torture and the excuse is
they were just following orders?

No discussion of U.S. military "torture" can be complete without a reading
of Ann Coulter's column on the subject, which puts it somewhat in
perspective:

WATCHING MSNBC IS TORTURE
May 6, 2009

The media wail about "torture," but are noticeably short on facts.

Liberals try to disguise the utter wussification of our interrogation
techniques by constantly prattling on about "the banality of evil."

What a load of CRAP to excuse torture by the US.
All you need is the Geneva convention.

BTW I am NOT a liberal but right wing and ex-military and I have
debriefed people in the middle east.


"I have debriefed people in the middle east." How did you "debrief" them?
Where and when?

1988 Kurdistan

And you what do you *personally* consider torture, exactly?

Waterboarding and most of the techniques shown in the souvenir pictures
of Sgt. English, the methods used at Gitmo.

Basically the same as the Genevan Convention and International Law.

The people who define it differently are the Axis of evil..... China,
N. Korea, Israel and the USA
