    PhD Bozos

    These two "professors" are paid to talk like this?

    Great article.....with terrorism, like any other subject....you have to look at the root cause of it. These guys are just making excuses for torture.

    If we torture them when they are captured, they will do the same to us when we are captured.

    Is that simple enough for these two PhD Bozos to understand?
