So after the next Al Qaeda attack on American soil, when we enter into 
the Police State Orwell says is coming (you're stupid if you believe 
it's not gonna happen) does this give them the green light to start 
using torture on their own citizens ?  I'm going to argue we already 
have.  Why else would we refuse counsel to our own citizens kept in 
Guantanamo? 

btw: horray for our side...one small battle won.  many more to go.

We're comin to get you.  And we *will* be torturing your ass.  Good 
thing I got my brand spankin new Cannon 5MP digital camera that I can 
remotely control via Bluetooth with my phone.  </sarcasm>

Disclaimer: I don't support terrorism or condone any acts of torture on 
either side.  I just find it quite funny how much we say via law.  Why 
don't we just start decapitating people?  Does it count if we blow their 
fucking heads off with a tank round?  There's a winner.

ps.  It looks like we're winning !!!  oh wait. no we're not.  damn.
