Way to explain yourself, Godfrey. Disingenuous misrepresentation of what? Play along with what? Is that sarcasm at the end, or your own advocacy? I can't tell if you support torture, or don't and think that the clip does. Did you actually read the clip? Ah well, I suppose it's a bit too much to specifically address arguments anymore. People must consider mockery to be some kind of trump card. Go fish.

GD, what's being disingenuously misrepresented here?

This is an intense blog. I never heard of it before.

The deliberate and pointless infliction of unbearable pain on another human being -- the infliction of agony for its own sake -- cannot be other than evil.
Associating this line with the Military Commissions Act is one disingenuous misrepresentation.

Redefining terrorism and then speaking of it as though you hadn't, is the fundamental one.

Not sure who mentioned terrorism. Let's try to have an actual train of thought here. Frankly, representing the Military Commissions Act as anything other than a kangaroo court and a shield law for sadists is one disingenuous misrepresentation. The trapdoor in the bill allows the President to interpret Geneva Convention as he pleases, strip habeus corpus rights, block any attempt at even a civil redress and detain any person indefinitely without ever charging him with a crime. But really, I guess we can say torture worked; After all, it got John McCain to confess to terrorism.

Whoops, I guess I just did mention terrorism. Well, I suppose it now creates a certain symmetry.

Good catch. I meant to say torture, not terrorism.
The cost benefit ratio of haste isn't good.
