Ask any civilian survivor who lived in Dresden or Hiroshima or Nagasaki or who worked in the WTC. But torture as an instrument of policy only serves to increase an opponent's will to resist. That being said, all forms of 'enhanced interrogation' are not necessarily torture.Bob Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13452703873713992208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6870648813893729932.post-61261976497419935942011-05-02T15:19:46.227-04:002011-05-02T15:19:46.227-04:00I'm for the rules of war if everyone is follow...I'm for the rules of war if everyone is following them.
