I thought morals were relative. I'll take staying ALIVE and not APPEARING like a bunch of pussies awaiting for slaughter by a bunch or homicidal maniacs any day over YOUR Brand of morality. What exactly makes your morality superior to anyother? Your morality has always been quite arbitrary and self-serving eg. pissing on the Madonna doesn't faze you...nor did the Lewisky or Edwards scandal...or how about those sick screwballs bombing innocent mothers and babies in Isreal? How about the millions massacered in Tibet, Cambodia and Vietnam as a result of your so-called opposition to Vietnam? or Stalins millions dead? Somehow when atheists or non-christians do the killing your Moral Superiority fails to kick in...mmm interesting. But god forbid a christian administration THREATENS evil (and not actually does it)...or puts panties on murderers heads... now that upsets you. Your hypocricy is staggering. If you read history you'll find your kind of morality (the atheist brand) has destroy more people in 100 years than all religious wars combined. I say we didn't torture them even close to enough!

You would probably call them the "Far Right" considering that it's the so-called "Moderate" GOP'ers who went along for the ride that Henry Paulsen and the Congressional Democrat Leadership cobbled together. It was Conservative House GOP that opposed the Stimulus fraud, the Omnibus, the automotive bailouts, Cap and Destroy. Occasionally a Dennis Kucinich type will oppose one of these things for not being radical enough.. but that's fine a no vote is a no vote. But remember.. the "Moderates" go along with all the destruction that's happening.

I assume you're conflating Abu Gharib with the CIA's activities? There was nothing ideological about what the jail-keepers did in AG. For as smart as so many of you Leftists think you are, you're sure in a prison of a one-dimensional us vs them framework. It's quite boring to those of us who aren't so obtuse. Oh give it a rest.

You must remember that women were a bit different and more protected back then as to their understanding of the horrors of the world. She is and has always been one of the most compassionate women I have ever met and I would never tell a mother-in-law joke about her. When our country took back the Philippines she was one of the first women to go ashore to help with the women POWs. The atrocities that these young women saw would turn anyone's inside out. The Japanese merciless cruel treatment of the women was just as horrific and degrading if not more so with the female POWs as the male POWs. Some female POWs I understand were Pilipino and just barely a teenager, while several of the American female POWs were just barely 18. Many were forced to become personal concubines enduring brutal daily beatings and treatment at the hands of the enemy guards and soldiers. (This is the mild version, for I was told more that would turn even the strongest of stomachs). I am sure that there are stories here and there of ill treatment of WW II or other enemy POWs, yet I will guarantee you they will never add up to the number or type atrocities committed against American POWs in any war. Does this excuse ill treatment of our enemy POWs, No!! But it does not excuse the releasing of confessed and convicted terrorists so that they can regroup and recommit the same atrocities against our company. <strong>ESPECIALLY WHEN WE ARE STILL AT WAR!!!!</strong> My mother-in-law served in WW II, as a young girl of 20.

Some corporate fed stooge wrapped in ideology will get elected. The appropriate right or left media will ride shotgun for them and help destroy all competitors. Their main goal will be to get their hands on our $$ and give it Wall St, etc.. The scenery will change a little but he result will be about the same. The real vote works like this.

It look likes we did forget a few things about it. We fought Japan for a number of reasons. In the 30's during the conquest to conquer South East Asia they imprisoned raped, tortured and worked/starved to death what the history books claim to be billion of Chinese. Something like 44% of all U.S. Pow's died or were killed in captivity. They tortured our men. They marched thousand of them, to a low death at Bataan. When it was over, we prosecuted many of the for what they did. For things like waterboarding among them. My father and several uncles fought in WWII.
