br> Cape Coral, Florida /p> p> It is truly sad that national security issues regarding terrorists are public fodder, but the national security issues surrounding Sandy Berger's theft and destruction of classified documents are no more than a page 6 afterthought. Where ARE we going as a country? br> -- Greg Mercurio br> Vacaville California /p>

I agree that the 9/11 plotters should not have been "waterboarded." The CIA should have used blowtorches. And fed the remains to hogs.

The interrogation tapes should not have been destroyed. We should have shown the world how Mr. Big Bad Terrorist lasted all of thirty seconds when somebody got tough with him. Let's see 'em pose as fearless warriors for Allah after that makes the rounds.

p> As to the high dudgeon of the usual Congressional suspects: so what? They have spent the last eight years screaming their empty heads off at everything the President said or didn't say, did or didn't do. If Dubya walked on water, they'd swear he only did it to hurt the fish, and by now his Administration is getting a de facto free pass (even when it isn't deserved) from the public's sheer fatigue at a Democratic shtick that is nothing more than one long tantrum. Outrage on demand has become, quite simply, a bore. br> -- Martin Owens br> Sacramento, California /p>

The CIA needs to have their PR man issue a statement saying that they practice only 100% organic andsustainable torture. More than that, they even they buy carbon credits to offset any footprints left on the foreheads of their victims. If the CIA did this, then Congress (and by extension Hollywood and the Episcopal Church) would have nothing to complain about, now would they?
