Rath, torture is another topic. But since you brought it up, This torture is not done in the name of God. It is done to protect American lives and sovereignty. The fact that Churches have not spoken out against torture, and some of them have, is simply put stepping in a political pile of poo. Firstly since America does not torture as a rule, for them to stand up and decry torture is either foolish, or giving away a state secret.
Besides which, we all agree that torture is not allowed under the Geneva Conventions right? Are these terrorists covered by those rules? Nope, they would be classified as saboteurs and therefore have no rights conferred upon them. They do not represent any specific state, nor do they wear uniforms from any state.
