It sounds like what they need is a “chef” (project manager) with more power over the “cooks.” It seems like many of these issues could be resolved with a clear mission statement and a detailed list of requirements.

You’re doing the same thing Rock was doing, pushing absolutes where none were expressed. I did not say that “everybody” who received the “enhanced interrogation” treatment was innocent.

Show you? Are you kidding me? You enter a debate surrounding torture and you aren’t even aware of the report compiled by the SSCI on the subject?

You’re a goddamn idiot who doesn’t know what the fuck he’s arguing about. There’s a difference between using violence to deal with an actual threat and applying drawn out pain over a period of time just to make a person talk. For fucks sake a huge chunk of the people tortured weren’t even “the enemy.” They were just…

We can start at that weird border area where the North Korean troops hang out in close proximity to the South. We can put up a projector screen and see what they like best. I wonder if Japanese anime tentacle porn would be too much too soon.

Yeah but we have to figure out how to give them a taste of that free porn if they’re going to risk it. I’m guessing that most there don’t understand that such a thing is actually a thing.

I feel like that’s a “grass is always greener” comment. I can sit around for hours and bitch about how shitty the U.S. government is as much as the next person, but if my access to news was dominated by the crappy things any government did I’d probably feel that way about any place.

Whoa, easy killer. It was Rock517 that suggested the CIA were terrorists. Direct that anger at him.

Oh yeah, that was clear a while ago. I just can’t resist a good flame war every now and then.

no, I am not calling “all” military personnel or “all” CIA agents war criminals. I’m calling YOU an idiot for not being able to distinguish between capturing, interrogating, and torturing.

No, “we” aren’t war criminals, those who tortured people, or authorized those actions, are war criminals. You don't get to have any more information regarding who I am or what I do.

yes, I am blaming you. It's because nutjobs like you make it politically inconvenient to hold war criminals in the US government accountable for their actions. Because we don't hold criminals accountable for their actions, we may as well be sanctioning these activities. If we're sanctioning these activities, we cannot…

Holy logical fallacy. At what point did anybody say they were okay with beheadings? Also, is that torture or is that murder? Here’s the problem with you and people like you: as a member of the armed services, now I have to worry about how I’m going to be treated should I be captured by the enemy. Thanks to people like…

Why not run each car on a dyno as a part of the tech inspection before each event? This, combined with vehicle weight, tire type, and lap times, would give IMSA the data they need to balance the competition. It’s obviously impractical to go digging into an engine to ensure its compliant, but it doesn’t much matter if…

First of all, torture is torture. We can argue the details over different techniques, both physical and psychological, but you don't need to cause blood loss for a technique to be classified as torture. Second, it didn't stop at waterboarding.

CIA = terrorists?

Yeah, but are they going to stop torturing people?

yes, I would absolutely buy this car for that price.

I feel like someone is trying to troll me. You buy a Miata because you want an inexpensive and hassle free sports car. This car, while inexpensive initially, certainly will not stay that way over the same ownership period when compared to a Miata.
