Reply #43: There are, unfortunately, grey areas in all of this

[Armstead]

Where does one draw the line between tough questioning that breaks down a suspect's defenses and what could be defined as torture?

I have a line in my own head about that. You have your own line. A third person is going to have yet another one.

This is kind of a silly argument, because, at base, I don;t disagree with what you're saying. I believe it's shameful that America has fallen so low that there is a debate about whether or not torture is acceptable. I also believe the Democrats -- and all Republicans who have an ounce of decency -- should have put their collective feet down back when talk of torture was first coming out.

But we are where we are, and I am simply suggesting what I believe would be one way to at least get the Democratic Party to do something about this, and turn Bush's attempt to flummox Congress back against him.
