I have been assessing the claims that waterboarding is torture. After much consideration , I painfully agree with left-wingers and conclude that waterboarding is a form of torture. However, I have no problem with using torture on proven enemies if Americans are in eminent danger; but only with Presidential approval.
My opinion may be considered callous and cold-blooded, but I value innocent human life much more than the well being of a terrorist. Of course, this is in complete contradiction of my Christian beliefs which says we should love our enemy. I am far from perfect and not the best example of a Christian.
Mass murderers should be treated differently than other criminals, especially if they still pose a threat to innocent people. If they aren’t American citizens, I don’t think they should be allowed our same civil rights. I don’t think torture is a respectable procedure. I am not proud that America has used torture in the past. I do believe, in this case, the end justifies the means.
but I could be wrong,
