Well..... don't get me wrong. I won't condone these techniques. They are awful, and need to be stopped. But the people they are being used on have either murdered innocents in some of the most cowardly ways possible, or helped in the planning of those murders. Soooo.... if you want to compare levels of gray to black...yeah, they're worse. And to be honest, they probably deserve far worse. However, they have gone through no court system, and a civilized world cannot be brought about by Draconian tactics. It's all terrible, and everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves. But yeah, the indiscriminate child killers are worse than the people who torture them to get information to stop more indiscriminate child killing. Definitely.

What about the convicts that have been found, and no doubt will be found in the future, to be innocent? No one deserves such treatment, you conduct a trial in a civil manner and then you can put them in prison in a civil manner, treating barbarism with barbarism is pointless and destroys your image as a moral western country.
Also, I find what you said about Muslims to be gross as a bit worrying, providing you were being serious. I agree that organised religion is a predominantely bad thing but I know plenty of Muslims and some of them are far far nicer and more charitable than the irreligious people I know, and they talk less about their faith than some of the atheists I know who complain about people of faith too.
