Do you really want our country to conduct torture?
Sometimes we would be torturing innocent people, is that okay with you?

What about the Constitution? It doesn't mention torture.......

Our founding fathers would roll in their graves if they knew the way l;iberals have twisted their words to harm our country.

Constitution does not protect foreigners trying to kill us. I would prefer the US 'torture' of placing panties on my head over al qaedas cutting off heads with dull knives.

It is proven that torture doesn't work. Anyone who believes you should use it is uninformed and out of touch with reality. Pretty scary!

At this point, we ARE the bad guys. No better than the terrorists we are fighting.
I miss the great old days...where we were arming and funding the terrorists, Saddam, and so many other US "friendly" dictatorships...
Back then, we didn't HAVE to torture our enemies to gain information.
We just gave them money.

It's pretty clears what constitutes torture -- it's enacted into federal law (for decades) and defined in treaties we have ratified (which have the same effect as federal law).
The constitution only talks about "cruel and unusual punishment" for crimes -- which means that torture cannot be used as a sentence -- but only implies (because of Due Process concerns) that it shouldn't be used for anything else.
No -- the US should not condone torture -- if for no other reason, that it makes us just as bad as the people we claim to want to destroy.

The US Constitution does not mention torture.
This does need further definition!!
