      This is silly. That is so easily debunked.

      Besides, if he was tortured, then they got the information, what proof is there that they could not have gotten the same info from him WITHOUT torturing him?

      But... Sean... you hate about 70 percent of LA's population, remember?

      Without the torture, KSM would have built a time-machine and gone back and carried out the terrorist attack. Prove me wrong, liberals!

      I think that these guys have been watching too many old episodes of 24. Didn't Jack Bauer torture a guy to prevent a nuclear blast in LA?

      Even IF they did torture KSM, and even IF they got the information that you say that they did Sean, it wouldn't have saved the entire city. It would have saved a building. But, then again, this didn't even happen, as proven out by the Bush timeline of the events of this quashed attack. We still don't know how far the planning had gotten, and we don't even know if they were going to still carry out this attack. I'm glad we caught it, and I'm glad that it didn't happen, but torture, did not prevent it from happening.

        Yeah, they get most of their foreign policy justification from that TV show.  And they say they hate Liberal Hollywood.
