Some of the stuff you people have written makes me sick! Oh, waah, civil liberties for terrorists. This is fucking war!!! We did not ask for this war, but we're going to give it to them. As far as I'm concerned, let the torture begin

They want to read our email, install Carnivore, Echelon, etc. They want to tap phone lines, we cant send letters to service members anymore, restricting our access to airports, cant use public computers anymore without practically submitting to a background check, theyre acting like they practically want to have SS#'s tatooed on our foreheads. And it may only get worse.
We cant let terrorists *or* the government do things like that to us.

In Sports Illustrated near the beginning of the year, they mentioned that the FBI suspected ObL and al-Qaeda of communicating via sports bulletin boards and chat rooms on the internet. Make of this what you will.

Oh yes, the FBI, CIA, and NSA( as well as God knows how many other government agencies) knew all about the impending attacks. yet they did nothing. The question is...WHY?????

What is your basis for this bold claim?

Careful what you say, Rono.
I take it that this comment is meant sardonically--that is, you're comparing the torture of suspects to the Third Reich.
But Hitler executed millions of Jews for being Jewish. (He did the same to other categories of people, and to various other unlucky persons, too.)
While I'm against torturing the 800 or so suspects we have in custody now (remember, they're being detained for a reason--the FBI suspects that they were involved or at least know something), there's no basis for comparison with Hitler's rule.

From the vast mind of Jonah Goldberg, in an article dated October 12th:
Torture is against the law in Israel (we can't say the same about most, if not all, of her neighbors). But Israel's Supreme Court grants an exception, the so-called "ticking bomb" excuse. If Israeli authorities are positive there's a bomb about to go off somewhere which will kill untold numbers of innocents, they can use "physical pressure" ? or some other sanitized euphemism for torture ? on someone in their custody, if he has information about how to prevent it.
