Amazing!

Waterboarding only 3 people causes over 100 deaths!

Cuz we weren’t torturing people or anything. Why, those especially tricky terrorist types no doubt *deliberately* died just in order to make the Bush/Cheney policies of enhanced interrogation look bad.

Besides, even if it was “torture” it was necessary to keep us safe!

And even if it wasn’t necessary to keep us safe, they had it coming!

And even if they might not have had it coming (given the fact that 80% of the victims at Abu Ghraib were innocent, as well as several innocent victims at Bagram), this is war! Collateral Damage!

And even though the Catechism says prisoners of war must be treated humanely, shut up! The point is, we *can’t* have been wrong to defend Bush/Cheney torture policies all those years because we can’t have been wrong!

The *real* evil here is that people who oppose US war crimes and excuses for same made in the name of God are *mean*. Torture is a pecadillo committed by well-meaning patriots. Opposition to torture is phariseeism and moral posturing.

No. Really!
