I happen to think it was horrible but a correct
decision. I dont think anybody WANTED to do
this, the felt they had to. There is a difference.

I am against torture in all forms.What happened during the 2nd World War was not torture.We could either lose Japanese and American lives in a land war invading Japan,or we could lose Japanese lives in a way that would convince them to stop fighting us.That was not torture.It was war.We didn't have those people in our custody.I am against torture of anybody.Don't treat your prisoners the way scum does.Treat them the way you would want American prisoners treated,or don't complain when our men are tortured.The reason to have prisoners is to keep them from harming others.They aren't for you to do as you please with.I don't know when we started acting like this,but I will never think (in any case)that it's anything less than dog activity.
