Anyone notice a pattern?...
Yup
You still don't get that waterboarding was deemed legal by the AG
That may be morally repugnant to some
But that was not the issue
Slavery was also considered legal for many years after this country was formed
Do you want to make slave owners back before the civil war guilty of a crime?
As I said it may suck but it was legal as determined by the AG. And as you have stated regarding other things. Tough shit. The law is the law. You don't like it then change it.
And change it means either stopping the practice, making it illegal or having a court order it illegal.

The tough shit is that your argument is a defacto argument for torture..... and morality and ethics are irrelevant in the eyes of the law.As I said it may suck but it was legal as determined by the AG. And as you have stated regarding other things. Tough shit. The law is the law. You don't like it then change it.

AA....are you arguing for the continued use of torture on the grounds it is as acceptable as slavery was in past history?

That is a TM argument.
He never argued it was ok as slavery was legal at one time.

While it legally may have not been torture at the time....it needs to be illegal now.
Not at all
While it legally may have not been torture at the time....it needs to be illegal now.
