How US Torture Laws Help Al-Qaeda

One Reason at Least

No decent, self-respecting individual would ever turn another person over to authorities to be tortured. Yes a civilized person might turn in a suspect to be detained and questioned, but not for torture or summary execution.

Torture is against international law and condemned by enlightened societies, but embraced by degenerates and barbarians. My dad used to tell me that two wrongs don't make a right. I guess maybe Bush's Poppy never said that to him.
