This article is obviously biased.216.106.103.204 (talk) 19:44, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

you have to get rid of the siting of philip watts. he makes a variety of unfounded claims and quotes taken out of context with the goal of promoting a certain point of view. citing that article as credible is ridiculous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.103.179.203 (talk) 16:55, 3 August 2007

Anyone can edit, just take it out if you don't think it should be included. It certainly does contain a point of view: "We must act now because the future is in the balance. The world cannot wait. While Bush gives his State of the Union on January 31st, I’ll find myself along with many thousands across the country declaring 'Bush Step Down And take your program with you.'" The way to obtain a balanced point of view, however is not to remove all points of view, but to balance them. Right now about 75% of Americans agree with Mr. Watts. 199.125.109.122 14:37, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WRONG.

better solution? up for debate

Why not allow torture, but only if the torturer(s) are perfectly documented. And if the torture fails in providing information, then the torturer(s) should be charged with murder (if fatal), or other suitable crimes. This way, no one would torture unless they were absolutely certain the suspect was a criminal, because they would jeopardize their own careers and lives by doing so... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Equus1 (talkcontribs) 01:58, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
