Torture impairs ability to tell the truth

which are not exempt from protection of the us constitution. you were already owned on that issue once.
The Southern Man was not owned. The Constitution was written by "The People of the United States", and these people have no right, duty or obligation to set rules for the rest of the world.
 
Since we signed the UN Resolution which bans torture. And since waterboarding fits the UN Resolution's definition of torture.

What we did was illegal.



I am still waiting for anyone to explain the difference bwteen what the japanese did and what we did.

irrelevant. the constitution was written to prescribe certain powers to the central government and nothing else. the rest of the world doesn't even come in to play. It's all about defining the federal governments powers and restrictions.

Exactly, so it doesn't define rights for non US Citizens. *shrug*
 
it doesn't need to. the framers wrote the constitution with full knowledge that all people had rights. That 'all men are created equal' doctrine. your strawman fails.
All men are created equal; it's what they choose to do after that that defines their legality. Your strawman fails.
 
STY has got you on this one.

But I think the proper view of this subject is more within the limits of our signing a UN Resolution that forbids torture. And that same resolution defines torture in such a way that it include waterboarding.

So what was done was illegal.
 
As I recall he Japanese methods have been described fairly recently on this very board. Perhaps you should spend less time reading Solitary's old posts (prior to him losing his job and his nervous breakdown) and read more current posts.

In other words, get your priorities straight and do your own research. :pke:

Bottom line... if you KNOW the differences, then POST them... don't give some 'well, I think they were posted before by someone else' comment and make everyone else go searching for something that may or may not exist.

STATE THE DIFFERENCES... or admit you just made it up.

Dont hold your breath... there is no difference. That is why he refuses to answer the question.
