Torture? You decide.

I was against the releasing the intelligence information concerning interrogation techniques since it will compromise our intelligence gathering. But since the “cat is out of the bag”, we must release all information instead of just a few pages that support the radical left point of view and not the results that these interrogation techniques accomplished. When anyone is accused of anything, all information must be released to either dispute or confirm the allegation. We cannot go on a political witch-hunt to satisfy certain political point of views. We are in the process of seeing a government act in the way one would expect to see in Venezuela, Cuba or the former Soviet Union and present Russia. Our Bill of Rights are being violated to satisfy the cravings of a few. A few I might add that financially supported the president during his campaign. Politics should not be involved in this issue on intelligence. After 9/11 we needed information and we needed it quickly since under rulings of the Clinton administration our intelligence gathering was severely disrupted as was reported during the 9/11 Commission. Besides, these terrorist are not members of a country’s military, are not in any uniform, do not follow the Geneva Convention and although we generally go out of our way in how we treat these terrorist as well as soldiers from a bonafide country, we are right in the techniques we used. The Geneva Convention does not apply and waterboarding is not torture.
