I put something like this on my face book page, I thought I was going overboard but looks like he has gone full Nazi. Lets see how full Nazi goes down with his chosen demographic. I would guess quite well.

Absolutely. They always want someone else to blame for their problems.

These are the same people who claim God gives us our rights. So I'm guessing they're saying torture is okay with their God, which means that torture is okay to use on American Citizens. Which is a pretty damn scary thought.

Torture cannot be justified. It's inhumane. Even against terrorists who blow themselves up in the name of their god. When we sink to their level, we become no better than them. It's debatable if it even saves lives. And there's far better ways of getting information from terrorists.
Just because Americans aren't currently being tortured, doesn't mean they wont' be in the future. If you're willing to torture people to 'save lives', you'll be willing to torture people for other reasons too. It's a slippery slope to the bottom, and Republicans are racing toward that bottom. Surprising since they're so anti-government that they're afraid the government is getting too much power, yet they don't see giving them the power to torture is doing just that.

You've got me here? Are we torturing American citizens? Is it OK to torture someone who is determined to kill as many infidels as possible, in order to get information that could save hundreds or thousands of innocent lives? Maybe it's not, but then maybe it's not OK to kill thousands of people in war to protect innocent lives. I believe there are circumstances in which we can justify torture of sworn killers.
Torture is never justified. Firstly it cedes the moral high ground. You cannot claim to be the "good guys" if you go around tolerating torture. Secondly, it just does not work.
