Exactly. Degrading, but it seems clear enough to be about *willing* women.

"Three thousand Americans died on 9/11 because of what these guys did, and I have no sympathy for them. I don't know the specific details... I haven't read the report... I keep coming back to the basic, fundamental proposition: how nice do you want to be to the murderers of 3,000 Americans?"

Dick Cheney, asked about the Senate report's account of the torture death of Gul Rahman, who had no connection to 9/11
Is guilt by association a cultural thing in America? I've been seeing a lot of it lately.

It's mostly just a grasping at straws to do anything to to not have to admit, especially to one's self, that the US and the politicians and/or policies one supported did something heinous and reprehensible. Not to mention unconstitutional and against multiple treaties.Faith is about what you do. It's about aspiring to be better and nobler and kinder than you are. It's about making sacrifices for the good of others. - Dresden

remind me... this is the United States of America we're talking about, right?
Signatory to (Indeed, helped DRAW UP) treaties banning torture- no ifs, no buts- not to mention the Geneva Copnventions. (even if you admit that terrorists don't count as POWs- and I'd argue they don't, actually, since the whole reason you treat POWs as something other than criminals is because, ultimately, it's not really that soldier's fault he was invading your country. Terrorists do have that choice- they still enjoy certain protections given to anyone: 1) the right not to be tortured 2) the right to a trial- yes, terrorists should be put on trial. I can understand you don't want to identify sources. So you don't mention the initial tip in detail. But you could easily use a temporary gmail account for sending and receiving emails between members of the group- talk to the FBI sometime about how they are able to use the same agents to infiltrate drug cartels. It has the same problems. My point is that you should not really be imprisoning people for X number of years without a trial.
