Perhaps, but the point is, if you justify torture in any case, people WILL abuse it. Like the article says, very few of the people tortured in Iraq were actually terrorists, or even guilty of anything. You don't regulate something so blatantly wrong, you ban it. Either you are for cruel and unusual punishment, or you are against it. If you are for it, you are un-American. That's not hyperbole. In the Bill of Rights it names protection from cruel and unusual punishment as an INALIENABLE right.

Life is declared an inalienable right as well, and yet we continue to use the death penalty.
You can still be american, bucko. And that was a biased article, so I wouldn't be surprised if they totally exaggerated to get a point across. Actually, I'd be very surprised if they DIDN'T, since that's what's known as good journalism these days.

True, and that's one of the reasons there's a great deal of controversy over the death penalty. That article was mostly comprised of first hand reports of soldiers. I read it very carefully. It kept opinions to an absolute minimum. It was good journalism. You speak of Yellow Journalism, and this is not new. The bigger problem is PR constraining the ability of the press. These days journalists have a tendency to pretty much just push press reports.
