I'm not one for passing collective blame. For an example: I don't hold you responsible for the atrocitiesdone by your citizens in other countries. Collective blame? I blame those responsible. The fact that they are all muslim extremeists doesn't ring a bell?
What I'm trying to say is simply: Let's respect every one as a person. I'm sure it will pay of in the end. Especially since there is no documentation of torture stopping ANY terrorist attack. Sure there is!!! The simple fact that there has been no terrorist attack is proof enough for me.
In regards to "then Europe can take it next"... have you ever heard of Carlos, of Rote Armee Fraktion. Their actions was quite earthshattering as well if you read the history books. Terrorism has been a part of Europe for the last 50 years. Suddenly with one extraordinarily big action it becomes a part of USA as well. Really, In light of your history you have been priveleged that it didn't happen sooner.
For me It was Shocking, horrendous etc. I remember sitting glued to my tv and thinking: I hope it is some right wing nut, because else hell breaks loose. But at the same time: in the light of My Lai, In the Light of Pinochet and all the other "pin point" operations USA has been the originator of, it really was a matter of time. I don't condone it. I just list the facts.

Oh, thats priceless. You hoped it was a right wing nut, now you're outraged because we are fighting back.
Tell us exactly what you would have us do. Really. I'd like to know.
