Holder Rejects Torture

Eric Holder, Barack Obama's pick for attorney general, today rejected waterboarding as torture saying that none are above the law.

This is already quite a positive change in direction from the Bush years, which will likely go down as the dark moment in American history.

Getting rid of torture is a bad idea. Torturing one can save millions. Typical liberal pussy.

Torturing one can also lead to the death of millions. The torture scandals in the Iraq prison led to additional terrorism throughout the world directed at the United States.

Torture is a slipper slope that no country should ever start down. If not nipped in the bud, which is what we are doing now, the eventually conclusion is something out of the most totalitarian regimes to have existed, be it Cambodia, the Spanish Inquisition, or Nazi Germany. I do not want to see my country, my ideals go down this path.

Also, I should say, is this how you want Americans to be treated by other countries? We must stand above the fray, as the leader of the free world.

Americans are treated like this as prisoners anyways. We should do it back to them.
