Did GOP debaters endanger captured US troops by endorsing more torture?

[Bozita]

Think that'll embolden the enemy? Will it make the captors more or less likely to torture the three American soldiers?

One more question.

Why isn't this all over the cable newschannels?

1. Well, in the eyes of most of the world, we sucked long before the R debate.

However, it didn't make our standing in the world much better. MKJ

2. You know what? That's a very good question!

Safer, my ass.:grr:

3. Dems should take

all those torture clips from the debate and put them into a campaign ad--"Republicans--the party of torture".

9. The Party of Equal Opportunity Torturing.

It's been extreme mental torture for us to have Republicans running our country.

10. Just caught a replay of last night's Real Time w/ Maher -- Editing accomplished!

If anyone knows of a link to the video of this masterpiece, please let us know.

4. excellent point! Frankly, I think their attitudes gave aid and comfort to our enemy

6. Honestly, I don't think so...

I can see where you could make the argument that it would put captured troops in danger, but personally, I think that the captors will not base their decision to torture (or not to torture) on what those A-holes said at a debate.

7. If I seem chippy ...

it's because of Gonzo and other stuff. (Your VP shot a guy in the face)



Or "Did Melinda's song list endanger her chances at more Idol gold?"

I am pretty sure cable covers this type of 'stuff'.

(oh on the subject of torturing humans for information and then reporting it as FACT in order to undermine a nation, I think I am against it...last time I looked) :grr:

8. They didn't mean our enemies should engage in more torture of our troops!

Just us. They'll need to issue a qualification at the next forum.
