Torture???

Okay I know I said I'd refrain from politicizing this thing, but why in the world would anyone think that it's permissible to torture people? Yes, I realize it's concerning potential terrorists, but there is one word we need to focus on: "potential." Therefore, we'd be "potentially" torturing innocent people. How does this mesh with our strong stance on human rights? I'll tell you how - it doesn't. In fact, it makes us into the hypocrites we're so well known for being - you can't torture people (or have nukes) but we can! Why? Because we're the United States!

Thank God it's Cheney raising this and not someone legitimate. That's all I have to say. If you want to know why I went off on this small rant, here's the link to the story:

Okay I'm going to study now. Constitutional law is calling me. (Ahh the irony the irony)
