A- Do you think the US should torture people? Ends justify means?

B- Do you buy into the legal end run of classifying a person caught in their country, in combat as an enemy combatant vs POW, etc as a way of denying prisoners due process, etc?

Have you ever wondered that if the US kidnapps people, sends them to secret prisons to be tortured and detained forever, how can we by any measure chastise Sadamm, China, N. Korea, etc for their human rights abuses?

Are you worried, opening the door legal end runs such as this, could lead for instance to American citizens being 'reclassified' or whatever, and thus, they don't have rights, due process, etc? In other words, when you see a Gitmo detainee that was renditioned from his homeland, maybe just defending his country, etc, for what ever reason cooked up to justify it, you wonder, 'Gee, this could be me..kidnapped, thrown in jail, tortured..what protections does anyone have from this type of situation?'

You can be vague. Do you feel anyone in the military, given the classical conditioning, etc, have the balls, integrity, etc to stand up, call for change, say or do something, or do you feel for the most part, those people have been culled at boot camp, or sidelined, booted out, chucked in jail, etc by higher ups? In other words, do you feel that in essence no one in the military will stand up, due to the control and psychology of the place, so it's on the civilians, on the outside to make a change?

Hypothetical. They rendition a teenage girl, your job is to interogate her about her supposed terrorist relative. You are ordered to do whatever, however.waterboard, etc..would you...yes or no...or...would they simply find the go to, henchmen, that will do what ever asked, no qualms?
