[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1474934, member: 28856"] During the American Revolution George Washington became aware of the conditions the British were keeping prisoners and pretty much laid down an ultimatum. Improve the conditions, or we'll lower our conditions for the prisoners we have to yours. In a more modern sense, waterboarding for interrogation of a prisoner, vs beheading a prisoner on camera to release for further terror. Regardless of what I feel about torture or perceived torture, I'm not inclined to say what we've done to prisoners is worse than what has been done to prisoners by them. We can argue if any of it is right or moral, but I'm hard pressed to say we're on their level. Perhaps a higher moral ground and all. . . [/QUOTE]
