The Choice Today: Torture or Killing?
P. Schultz
June 4, 2012
Here is a
Charles Krauthammer column critical of Obama as our “drone killer” president.
Is this because Krauthammer is “pro-life?” Hardly. He might be “pro-life” when
it comes to protecting fetuses but he isn’t when it comes to protecting
children already born who happen to live near terrorists, I mean, Muslim
terrorists.
So what’s
his beef with Obama killing terrorists with drones? Well, dead terrorists
cannot tell us anything, that is, after they are tortured, oops, I meant to say
“intensively interrogated.” So this is what our political debate has come to:
Torture or killing? I must say when Cheney said that in waging the war on
terror we would have to live in “the dark side,” he knew of whence he spoke. As
Jefferson said: “I tremble for my country when I remember that God is just.”
