Rowskid - torture is the topic of the thread, if you read the opening article.

I made the "broad" assumption that RTW's remarks were somehow connected to the actual topic ;)

And as for "the left" being concerned about getting the wrong guy all I can say is that is a load of hooey. Everyone who upholds the law should be concerned with getting the right person. That is why one of the most important tenents of law is that everyone is innocent until PROVEN guilty. Your contention would seem to insinuate that those on the right don't give a damn about that. You owe your fellow right wingers an apology because I don't believe that they would throw that important principle out the window as you suggest.
The idea of "innocent until proven guilty by a court of law" does not apply in war.

This is the job of a military tribunal, not a civilian court.
