So the Democrats in the Senate decided to lay out a report documenting the so called "torture" of prisoners captured after 9-11.
The reports were detailed and meant to make everyone cringe and to sell the narrative that the people writing them wanted.
I might not be the moral compass for good in the world based on my views, because I want the people in the CIA and Military to have the ability to do whatever it takes to keep us safe from these Terrorists. If it takes some Jack Bauer type moves to keep us safe, then so be it. We keep talking about this moral high road that we are suppose to take. While the Terrorist are killing thousands of civilians in buildings, beheading others and planning attacks on any of us, we are suppose to be worried about not treating them right? Seriously? A vast majority of Americans don't live under a rock. They know this stuff goes on and I believe understand that it sometimes takes people getting their hands dirty to keep us safe.
I find it ironic that the President and these Democrats come out and have a problem with sleep deprivation, threats and waterboarding, yet have no problem with outright killing them. That's right, you can't capture someone, keep them up for 48 hours and question them over and over again. That is torture. However, it is just fine to send in a drone and kill not only the Terrorist but anyone around them. That is not torture and it passes our moral compass according to Democrats.
For the record, I am fine with drone strikes. I just don't understand the hypocrisy.
I think the whole report was more about attacking the former President and his administration. I think it is the Democrats way of trying to make them look bad and play the blame game yet some more.
