I don't think that is the case with what our guys would do to you. Don't get me wrong. They would make your life miserable and they may scare you half to death, but there is still a limit as to what they will do to you. They're not going to kill you because if they do they might go to jail. Some of our soldiers are in big trouble right now for killing prisoners and even civilians.

In one sentence you are saying that "they (implying our soldiers) are not going to kill you" but in the next sentence you are saying that our soldiers are in "big trouble for killing prisoners and even civilians". Obviously, our soldiers have killed and if i were the enemy i would be terrified. You just said it yourself.

Now, as far as the limits as to what CIA interrogators will do, how would anyone really know? How would you know? It has been proven that they abduct terrorist suspects and take them to parts unknown. How do you know what is done to them? Do you really think the geneva convention is followed? Do you think captured enemy soldiers with any kind of knowledge arent killed during interrogation at times?

You got to get real Rupert. I applaud your faith in the altruistic nature of the US military but youve got to get real.
