So are they the only who have commited attrocities? Do we forget the crusades, was that not in the name of religion? Have you forgotten Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the only two nuclear attacks ever commited, were done by the United States on civilian populations. Oh, but it was ok that we did that because Japan had a Cottage Industry and we were attacking that... right.
If we allow torture on prisoners, then all we are doing is pouring more gasoline on the fire that boils the blood of these people. Kill and enemy combatant and one or two of his family members might take up arms. Torture him, and I guarantee you double, triple, or quadruple the ammount of people joining the ranks. Is it so hard to imagine yourself on the receiving end of that?
