Is it ever right for Americans to inflict cruel and degrading treatment on suspected terrorist detainees?

From Joseph Farah’s - Christian wimps:

“We read credible reports - some from FBI agents - that prisoners have been stripped naked, sexually humiliated, chained to the floor and left to defecate on themselves,” he writes. “These and other practices like ‘waterboarding’ (in which a detainee is made to feel as if he is being drowned) may or may not meet the technical definition of torture, but no one denies that these practices are cruel, inhuman and degrading.”

Let me introduce myself: I, Joseph Farah, hereby deny that these practices are cruel and inhuman.

I would suggest that in wartime conditions, the interrogation of prisoners who may have information that could save the lives of millions may by necessity involve such practices.

So, now that it’s okay to torture, then it should be okay for all groups to torture those they believe are threatening their livelihoods. So many people say that if America can do it, then so can we, if America can wage war for its ideal, then they can and so can others. Terrorists don’t consider themselves terrorists, they consider themselves right.

Anyway, maybe Farah see things that we don’t see. We don’t always see what we think we see. Here is the proof!
