this is the point that some here seem to have conveniently overlooked. one the guys waterboarded by the US a few years back said that there were imminent attacks at shopping malls, banks, nuclear power plants, apartment buildings, etc... and thousands of FBI and police were sent out....but he was just trying to stop the torture. he was lying to stop the torture.
america used to occupy the moral high ground....but no more.
and the military personnel who are actually fighting in iraq or afghanistan (interestingly enough, that includes exactly none of our resident proponents of waterboarding), will be on the receiving end of even more heinous torture.
and btw, a beheading is certainly more humane than dropping a cluster bomb.
