Torture never has been the American way

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The fact that there is any debate over the use of torture by the government of The United States is, to say the least, troubling. Proponents are taking two approaches to their defense of torture. One is to rename it, as…

I’ll put my safety in the hands of Republicans

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

 
Leonard Pitts article talking around this terrorism and freedom is convoluted. First of all I value the safety President Bush did provide this country and there is nothing leftist/liberals can do to diminish that major accomplishment of protection. Pitts like the rest of…

We need someone to bring honesty to Washington

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives states that the CIA lied to her, a member of congress. The CIA Director said that the CIA did not and does not lie to anyone. The House of Representatives refuses to investigate…

Pelosi’s comments about CIA are an embarrassment

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi has embarrassed not only herself but the entire House of Representatives with her naive comments regarding the CIA’s lying about enhanced torture techniques used against terrorist suspects.  First of all it would take…

Pitts is worried about Christians approving of ‘torture’ that is not torture

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

 
This Leonard Pitts is one of your silliest comparisons to date. Drippy with mixing sentimentality and sappiness with appeals to human goodness. There is no equivalency Pitts between Nazism, Racism, AIDS, Torture and Christians. First of all the “inhanced interrogation” while harsh…

When we try to justifying torture we are exceeding limits

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

A sometimes-permissible evil?  Torture? Charles Krauthamer’s editorial glared at me from Sunday’s Post-Dispatch.  I was appalled as I read it.  As soon as we try to justify torture we are well on our way to exceeding limits from which we…

We won’t come apart if we investigate torture; we already have

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Bill McClellan’s column last week about torture is a sad reminder of how far we have moved away from any sense of accountability.  McClellan’s comment about our “coming apart” if we were to pursue action against the prepetrators of torture is particularly…

Avoiding invesitgating trauma doesn’t make it better

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Bill McClellan’s suggests that our nation avoid the trauma of determining and disclosing who’s responsible for torturing detainees. (’Turn ing the page on torture.’) That’s a tempting but ultimately irresponsible choice.

Sure, figuring out who was responsible would be messy,…

Releasing torture memos is wrong

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Without a doubt the legislators are out of their minds to reveal anything about that period of time. It is quite obvious that this is a far left liberal witch hunt and a pure political move.

All of these people…

Does torture work isn’t the right question

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I am disturbed by the recent dialogue on torture.

The question being asked is “Does it work?”

That begs the question in my opinion, or at least a more important question.

Let’s presume it works some or even all the time.

If it works…
