'Torture' Response

Posted
Editor, Times-Union:

In response to 'torture,' where is it that you are talking about? Certainly not Gitmo. Congressmen, congresswomen and reporters have been going to gitmo for years, so why have they not reported all the torture you claim is going on there? I like what you said "filmsy suspicions" sir. They were captured on the battlefield trying to kill our heroes. If a man enters a bank with a gun and a mask and asks for the money, I don't suspect he's a bank robber, I know he is!

Someone is intellectually lazy when they use the word "junta," which means "millitary men in power after a coup." I don't believe a junta has ever happen in America, land that I love.

Thanks for telling all of us what "unalienablle rights" mean. Now I think you need to go over there on the battlefield and tell the "suspected terrorists" to be nice and dont behead people because they have rights.

Do you really think Thomas Jefferson was thinking that people like the "suspected terrorists" would ever exist in this world? I believe he was talking about America and the people that have made this country so great.

How would you find a "legitimate suspect?" Maybe on the battlefield when they are shooting at you?

"If" is a very strong word and as an American and a veteran, I take strong offense at your remark, "I am not sure we are are much better then the terrorists."

OK, last one. "Police state," that was Hitler's Germany. I beleive you can go any where you want every day and do what you want - so far ... God bless America.
