From a story in this morning’s paper: “The American Psychological Association ruled Sunday that psychologists can no longer be associated with several interrogation techniques that have been used against terrorism detainees at U.S. facilities because the methods are immoral, psychologically damaging and counterproductive in eliciting useful information.” Next to the story is a picture of a man dressed as a prisoner; in the background is a sign stating, “San Jose Says No To Torture.” Well, huzzah for San Jose! I’m sure Al Quaeda members are happy to know that if they are arrested in this country, they will have safe haven in San Jose.
Seriously – are you kidding me? What a load of crap. San Jose doesn’t have any say over who and who isn’t tortured – for that matter, neither does the APA. Let’s leave interrogation and torture to the professionals – and better yet, let’s all act and behave in a way that will prevent us from being arrested, therefore from being interrogated and tortured!
I know that’s a difficult concept for liberals – after all, we should appease everyone every moment of every day. But let’s try to play nice, shall we?
Socialism still sucks. Liberals – for the most part – suck.
