Too bad she has absolutely no respect for Americans who don't believe the same that she does - which is the majority of Americans.
By what measure and what difference does it make? Foreigners must agree with the majority or..??? Can you really say your any less contemptuous of others? Don't bother trying, it was rhetorical.

Oh - but people such as you and BoP and Fenir can talk in absolutes and be so confident of your beliefs.

Oh and what sorts of people are those? I speak my own opinion and don't see this this as us and them like you. I think my views are different than theirs. Basically then anyone who dosagrees with you on anything would fit the bill. Yes, I absolutely speak of *my* opinions.

Soi out of MILLIONS of soldiers - there was never ONCE any abuse. I highly doubt that was the case. Also - we didn't RESORT to torturing them - you see there you go - as well as the others - implying that this was a military wide abuse - and so far nothing indicates that this was.

That's convenient. Torture is justifable to you but it wasn't approved because other than the CIA program at the prison employing these techniques last fall, and the fact that higher ups were aware of the abuse and dismissed it until it was bad publicity, they didn't RESORT to torture. (You said we but I'm sure you wefre still in NJ at the time.) Yes, no one can prove that everyone in the military was torturing people.
