Reply #29: I imagine in modern combat (Iraq, Afghanistan) the military isn't black and white either

[Muttocracy]

will the woman or the old man call the people who will shoot at the soldiers? Did they put out IEDs? I watched part of a Frontline documentary or something like that set in Afghanistan and it was very blurry who was on what side.

I haven't followed this closely, but I thought there was a prior U.S. determination that waterboarding was torture - maybe after WW II?

I hope at least there is a thorough investigation of how the DOJ came to conclusions that seem pretty far out of the gray zone to most people.
