This argument in Torture…

OK, I am sick of the whole “Torture” discussion. I think it’s important to discuss what is happening to terrorist suspects, but we have now devolved into rhetoric and stupid simplification. Party politics and political fear are now driving this discussion and that just seems wrong. There is a Geneva Convention for a reason and obviously our policies and procedures with Enemy Combatants has not been a resounding success. I think the current debate with Mukasey and all that is just static. Look, water boarding is torture…that’s it. Now how do Congress and the President intend to deal with all the political ill will we are creating everyday? Some real analysis and honesty would be appreciated by EVERYONE right about now. Sadly, I just don’t see much hope for that.
