To the signers of the letter to the editor: "Group Denounces Torture, Pre-emptive War:"
I too am a life-long member of the LDS Faith, but with all due respect, you gentlemen are wrong on both counts. It appears you've been listening to too many talking points of the liberal media. I am not alone when I do not consider waterboarding to be torture. There is no physical or mental injury. By your reasoning, glaring lights, restraints, yelling, or any other means of threatening a prisoner during interrogation would be forbidden. If you were in charge, I suppose you would gently ask the prisoner to reveal all that he knows. When he declined, you would cheerfully send him back to the TV room, warning him not to trip over the threshold on his way out. Reality check, gentlemen. We can no longer afford to give an enemy the first strike, especially when that enemy, such as Iran, has promised to use nuclear weapons to eradicate one of our strongest allies, Israel. Such a nuclear strike on Israel or the US would surely plunge the entire world into a third world war.
