    Waterboarding

    THis is the same specious argument the administration uses. "Only in extreme circumstances", which basically means "Whenever we feel like it." The rule of law, and human decency, at this point, is gone. There is no situation that warrants torture, just as there is none that warrants slavery, or rape, or any other inhumane act. None. You either agree to give up basic human rights as a value, or not. Sure, we'll give up human rights if it is for the good of the nation. I think Hitler not only said that, he made it law.

    Waterboarding

    Sadly, torture doesn't work. THe victim talks, alright. They tell you exactly what you want to hear, but seldom anything useful. Decades of espionage and law enforcement has proven that the use of informants is far, far more effective at gathering high quality information. Torture isn't for gathering reliable information - it's for dehumanizing individuals and groups, either directly through torture itself, or through fear of torture or the guilt or feelings of worthlessness for doing nothing or not being able to do enough about it.

  6. Any books or authors you'd reccommend - or reject - on nutrition, sports nutrition, especially geard toward athletes and laymen? All of the training books I've read (mainly distance running and marathoning and weight training) all have chapters on weight loss and nutrition and such, but they all just scratch the surface and say similar things. Maybe a topic for another thread but... Just askin'
