Guess, a quick death is better than being tortured and having your head sawed off, but then only Americans, Europeans and Israelis are supposed to have a sense of moral responsibility about such things. Or could it just be that any treatment is OK as long as the person is labeled a foreign invader (except terrorists of course)?
Don't hear much here about torture by the Iraqi/al Qaida insurgents. Any particular reason? Truth is, I don't have a lot of sympathy for any torturer or murderer, so I don't have to single out anyone by nationality. They are all the same and I'll say it loud and clear.

But still - the problem with attempting to justify atrocity by taking the moral high ground compared to the other guy, is that if you no longer have the moral high ground, all you're left with is atrocity for its own sake.
It's odd how (comparatively) few people seem to understand this.
