The actions of a few do not reflect the philosophy of a nation.
Are you sure its "the few"? Seems that these guys were told by military intelligence to soften them up for interrogation.
This story reads like the US have overthrown one tortuous regime and replaced it with another.
As for Dave TWB's comment that Bush should not have apologised because its a sign of weakness.... I don't know what to say to you, Dave, other than to let you know that I have the most utter contempt for your personal value system.
I can't believe it. I just get here and already I meet the first biggest retard I've ever encountered in my entire message board career.
Its clear you are new here. Can you contribute something intelligent? I personally haven't called anyone a "retard" since I was 11.
You might disagree with me, and think that its morally acceptible for the Commander in Chief of the US armed forces not to apologise for the behaviour of his troops in torturing prisoners, because to apologise would "show weakness".
If that's truly the case, then you should feel free to properly articulate this point of view.
To be clear, my own view is that anyone who thinks that Bush should not have apologised for the torture of prisoners by troops under the President's command, because it would be considered "weak", is morally weak themselves. I have nothing but contempt for their lack of decency, compassion and humanity.
Well Dave, I could put as much effort in responding to you as Britneyspears--Whatever. But you see, reading misleading posts that disproportionize situations--Like the posts you've put forth have done just tell me to not bother. I've dealt with enough self centered and insufferable people to spot them from a mile away. And that's the case here, and it is such that I never want to affiliate myself with because they are impossible to convince. So I don't beat around the bush and just tell it like it is.
You can imply that I'm rude and that I'm disregarding parts of your posts that show you as someone who cares, but that doesn't lead me away from the fact that I find what you say to be....Distasteful for lack of a better word.
No worries though. This bloke Whomod seems to be scoring higher than you on the idiot-meter. He's almost tying with this other guy Mcdonough or.....Something that I'm reading up on in other threads.
