no it's not the lesser of two evils it is the greater. you take the higher moral ground. if we insist on torturing people what right do we have to be in iraq? to oust a dictator? what makes the us army any better than the republican guard now?

and actually you fought a pretty damn total war in vietnam when you bombed villages and tortured civillians.

but why would you fight a war when it just leaves one torturer in place of another?
