Obama Rebukes Cheney on Torture

algoreiscool Says:

Aug 3, 2009 - I think torture is a good thing but Cheney takes it too far. I am not saying that i think it is good to get information out of people because yes they do make stuff up to be left alone. I think it should only be used as a form of punisment eg. what they should have done to Saddam Hussein.

Aug 5, 2009 - torture is never a good thing

SupaFastVideos Says:

Aug 5, 2009 - well we tortured this people

algoreiscool Says:

Aug 5, 2009 - It is good if they do it to someone who has it comming to them like Osama or Manson

SupaFastVideos Says:

Aug 5, 2009 - those guys are evil bastards and they SHOULD get punished but we should never lower ourselves to their standards

Aug 10, 2009 - Absolutely correct. Torture is sick. Those speaking the greatness of torture from the comfort of their couch should spend a summer in a North Korean prison camp, see how much any of their coerced testimony is worth.

Aug 14, 2009 - Torture is bad, and so is shooting people in the head protecting their culture and country. Obama is continuing the madness in Afghanistan and Iraq. Ron Paul wanted to pull them out and get us back to being a sovereign nation again, not a policing nation. This continuation of leaving our fingers in the asses of other countries is crazy, and we are just ok to continue doing it now that Obama is president? No way! Independent candidate next time, these guys are just repeats in another disguise

Aug 15, 2009 - theres gota be a couple of far out instances where you could see yourself thinking torture was acceptable just once? what if someone knew where your mother was and she was kidnapped? or if someone murdered your daughter in cold blood right in front of your face? cmon man, a couple of these terrorists should be tortured if its possible they know something

Aug 26, 2009 - Torture isn't good. The Japanese did it to us and we prosecuted them executed them for that. Vietnamese did to our POW's in nam. The Iranians did it to the US embassy employeesduring the revolution. So is how torture good when it made the US look like the terrorist that we're trying to get rid of. That doesn't make any sense. I hope Cheney get prosecuted and thrown in jail. Torture is illegal.

Aug 28, 2009 - If you tortured someone to get your mother back you would be sent to prison.

TreyJay28 Says:

Aug 28, 2009 - you think i wouldnt go to prison to get my mother back?

Sep 17, 2009 - To defeat your opponents (whoever they may be) you must rise above them - take the high ground. If you do that then you will not fail. You defeat your enemies by sticking to your values and principles. Once you begin down the slippery slope of torturing people you have then lost all credibility with the people you are defending and with those you wish to win support from. Because you will be perceived as no better than those you fight against.

Sep 25, 2009 - If you did that to them you would be no better and besides how do you know that they wont lie just to get it over with

Jun 11, 2010 - Cheney Deserves the death penalty!

stevefye Says:

Aug 5, 2010 - Cenk seems to not discuss the fact that Obama is going to let them get away with it. He hasn't pushed or even mentioned that there should be an investigation and indictment. So it looks like the good ole boys network is doing it's usual. Black/White it matters not,they're all in on it together. Sold out people are sold out people,just some sellout for cheaper.

Oct 24, 2010 - Sorry that i'm replying to a comment made a year ago, but It's all about the power, and sacrificing your values to get that Power is totally worth it. if you don't know that you haven't been in the power game, or you left early. Obama might "say" good morals and stuff but in reality him and Cheney were working together to make him look more credible. Sometimes torture is necessary so keep it secret, and having the moral high ground won't give you a safer nation, better economy.

Nov 20, 2010 - wow, obama actually standing up to a republican. what happened to this guy?

RPenta Says:

Jan 27, 2011 - Who is going to stand up to Obama on torture?

CADesign Says:

May 3, 2011 - Praises be to Cheney and Bush for damn sure, and congrats to Obama for not having the decency to follow through on a single campaign promise that he made, in this case by NOT shutting down Gitmo or disassembling the machine that Bush/Cheney assembled to fight terrorism. Obama did nothing to get Bin Laden - Credit is due to the Seals who took him out and the machine put into place by Bush/Cheney that every leftist swore against, but are now eagerly praising.
