Shoar, you dare compare the deaths of mere thousands to the many millions who have died in the Middle East due to the so-called "War on Terror"; the children, the women; men and boys who have been dragged away from their families on the flimsiest of evidence to be threatened and tortured? Are you trying to suggest that 1 American is worth thousands of people from another country? If you are, that's pretty damned shameful.

The torture that the CIA did produced NO useful intelligence of any kind (as any expert on torture will tell you that it won't); but rather was used to try to get prisoners to lie to support the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld phony excuses for the invasions and occupat...

Those interrogators were animals, and the people who authorized them to torture were akin to evil demons. Torture is the evil, lazy alternative to real intelligence work.

No, it was not a valid point. It was a paranoid, self-serving excuse for committing atrocities in the Middle East and beyond. Besides, evidence is coming out that it is much less likely that a bunch of Arabs pulled off 9-11, and more likely that someone with much more influence in America did it instead. In fact, there is absolutely no viable evidence whatsoever that Osama bin Ladin had anything to do with it, so the so-called "justification" for invading two sovereign countries in the Middle East is nothing but a lie.

It isn't about politics; it's about you trying to evoke an emotional response to compensate for having absolutely nothing else to justify the war crimes of America. It's abou...

It isn't about politics; it's about you trying to evoke an emotional response to compensate for having absolutely nothing else to justify the war crimes of America. It's about evidence and facts, and human suffering and misery. It's about Americans painting themselves with the brush of the Imperialistic Tyrant.

It's about comments like that making you complicit to the crimes of the US Government and Military. Thus, it was not valid by any stretch of the imagination. It is nothing but a cop-out.
