US can fight terrorism without torturing POWs

President Barack Obama has reversed his decision to release photographs of prisoner abuse by US personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Not only can they fight terrorism without torture, they must do it. They have, for far too long been engaged in torture, illegal invasions and imprisonment of political prisoners. The big issue, is that the truth hurts, it always does; the simple truth, is that they are fragrant torturers, it is a hard fact to accept for them. So now the truth police appear, the ones who try to suppress the truth, or change the history, the ones who want to deny all knowledge, the political Pelosi's of this world. But it simply doesn't work, everybody knows what the US did, it is laid bare to all. But it was not just the US, NATO supported the activities and the EU as well. This is why the silence is deafening from Europe, because the fact is, that they were complicit in it all. Obama tried to grasp the nettle, but he is persuaded, that the truth needs to be managed, to be controlled, he has listened to the ones who want to manage the truth politically, to try to time the bad news with good. To try to spin it, and reduce damage, and he decided to come down form the mountain of morality, and join in the simple political manipulation of the truth. Obama became the change you can lie in. But he will be supported well, because his management will help his European accomplices.
This is ridiculous. The US has not used enhanced interrogation techniques since 2003. When it did use them, they used them on a minuscule number of people high in AL Qaeda's command hierarchy; people they had NEW had information to save lives. In fact, information that was obtained through water boarding stopped a terrorist plot called "Second Wave", an attempt to have 17 Chinese Muslims fly a plane into the library tower in LA. All the top brass of the CIA say that the vast majority of the information they have about Al Qaeda they have, as a direct result of the EIT's. And by the way, these are not "POW's", they are "enemy combatants". They are not fighting for a country, they are just blood thirsty thugs. They complain about the way we treat them when they are captured. How do they treat us? They cut off our heads...literally. This title of this story should be "The US has been fighting the war on terror without using EIT's for 5 years; can they continue to do so?"
i have a very simple solution........ just dont torture people!!!! for gods sake be humane to your fellow humans!!! act as is you have a heart!! cant we all just get along?
Michael, well said, they even try to change the words, in a western media rewrite - but the good thing, the whole world knows the US is a torturer, and that is what counts. The plain simple truth!










But, but, but ... should the governments (the little gods of earth who do the bigger gods of earth's bidding, those paedophilia cultists) STOP torturing then there would not be the harvesting of the human brain and oh, my, lions and tigers and bears! How would all the parasites take care of their needs without the host of flesh to suck into death or worse, torture!? Russia and America, et al. need to grow-up into the 21st Century and cease and desist behaving as though brain-dead. In a word, period.
