Senate votes to ban torture |
Has the U.S. Senate completely lost their collective minds? These pond-scum
will stoop to any level to kill and maim Americans; America needs every
weapon at it's disposal to ward off these vermin. Better them than us.

Let's say the Senate votes to "ban torture". A noble idea.
Trouble is, from that point on, they might even believe it
no longer exists.
The point is not to bury torture, but to investigate and
prosecute those who indulge in it, to do this relentlessly
and consequently to the highest level in any chain of
command responsible for the toleration of torture.
This country hasn't been doing such a good job of that
as it is. And it's getting worse.
There are no excuses for torture.
Besides which, it's already illegal. So let the prosecution
commence.
