Why shouldn't dick cheney be tortured for information?
I remember reading that the doctor who invented the guillotine met his own fate under it's blade. Shouldn't we the people, who now have accepted torture as mainstream, torture dick cheney to find out exactly how corrupt and evil the last eight years have been?

Hell, even if we got NO information at all from him, it would still be great fun, and perfectly acceptable by polite society.

1. He already knows the easy way out.
He knows we can't kill, or permanently hurt, him, even with his own admin's laws.

So, he doesn't have to say anything.

2. Thats Cheney's defense of why we should torture.
He says the world is mean, and others do it, so we should do it to them.

You don't fight bad by using its means, you join it by using its means.

I personally wish Cheney love and a good life, but I disagree with his views.

:loveya:

5. I think he should have his
obviously large, lardy and spongy balls placed in an exquisitely designed and softly lined little ball squeezing device. With every turn of the of the gold plated handle and as his porcine little eyes started to water he should be asked, 'How does it feel, Dicky?'

8. You missed the point. When you oppose torture, you simply support rendition.
I definitely support the notion of having him flown to Syria or Egypt for some extended conversations with their security people.

9. He Tortures Me Every Time He Pops His Ugly Mug Out...
While I appreciate the humor/irony here...it would please me no end to see Crashcart hauled before juries and forced to testify. No doubt he'll perjure himself (even if he were tortured). To me, just knowing he's avoiding having to be hald accountable for his war crimes is torture to the American people and the Constitution.

10. i see your point.
with torture prosecutions not taking place it shows that the government feels there is not enough public outcry about it to proceed. this insinuates that the american public are okay with torture, otherwise our voice would be too loud too ignore. go figure, politicians being political, even when it comes to human lives.

but, a truly civlized society would not even torture there own tyrants. they would just try and prosecute them for their crimes, and jail them.

because torture is wrong, no matter who you are.

11. If you just follow the memos, it won't be torture.
Get the info and sleep like a baby at night!
