The left of the Democratic Party wants to investigate, expose and prosecute any wrongdoing.
It's not just the left of the Dems in the larger sense. There are a lot of people across the political spectrum--even Fox News presenters--who opposed torture of prisoners.
I belive Virgil that in this case invisible but very important line was crossed. How it is possible to speak about moral leadership, superiority of Western values, benefits of democracy, principles of humanism if such threats are possible.
What is the difference with terrorists? Maybe as the next step it would be possible to capture children of know terrorists and to treat to kill them if the terrorists would not surrender?
Or maybe it would be right to capture children of Talibs and kill one for one killed NATO soldier?
What would be a reaction to threats of Talibs to kill (later or sooner) Obama's children?
Why has not the case been investigated in time? I don't understand it. It is beyond my understanding. And those who oppose the investigation are heartless, cynical politicos who likely have not own children.
Just imagine that you are threatened that your children can be killed.
