I'm sure that's what you see happening. The world must be a very confusing place for you.

Yeah it is.

Must be nice keeping a child's black and white view of things.

Thats I shame. I tried as well but was quickly led off the trail in a search for nude pics of Elisha Cuthbert.

Child's black and white? And here I thought that described you guys. Can you tell me what's "black and white" about my viewpoint? I think that's funny, because usually the criticism I get is that I'm too much of a relativist. That's interesting.

Gonna go with the belief that you can't get information out of a prisoner without torture, or use of force. Ya know, either we torture these guys or it all becomes a pointless endeavor.

Thats just a false choice / black and white world view.

Really makes me wonder how domestic law enforcement has been able to get by these last hundred years.

Who said I believed that? Did I? If someone told you believed that, I guess you chastise them for giving you poor information.
