Hound, I think you can have the intellectual honesty to admit that enhanced interrogation techniques (EIT) are a far cry from beheading someone and no one here is suggesting that comparison except you. I think the point Cheney was making is some insight into the outcome of using those techniques......saving the lives of thousands and possibly hundreds of thousands of U.S. lives (which is why the Obama administration isn't willing to release the information gleaned).

Would you agree that use of deadly force in self defense is morally justified? I certainly do or we would need to get rid of our police force. Well, in my view and the view of many, use of EIT against terrorists is the mildest form of self defense and has and will save lives. I would have absolutely no problem using EIT to obtain information to save your life and would feel it was my moral obligation to do so.

I recognize this isn't your world view nor that of liberals in general and I respect that. But that is why in my opinion liberals can't be trusted to be in those positions of power and one of many reasons why I won't vote from them. They care more about what Islamofascists think about them than keeping me and my family safe.
