From what I have heard, Scott Reoder is mentally unstable and represents no one but himself. I know the left-leaning media would love to think there is some major right-wing conspiracy out there (I know Hillary thought so, too), but I doubt that there is. And I thought you were against doing all these things to American citizens. I know I am. However, if there is some very good reason to think that there is a bomb ticking somewhere, I would splash some water in his face to find out more about it. You really need to get over it, dude. Waterboarding is not that big of a deal (I seriously doubt that what we call waterboarding is what the Japenese were doing to our guys in WWII). It is non-fatal and very effective. Enjoy your freedom.

Can you read? You ignore people's answers and squeal about intellectual honesty?
I would also say that people who fly airplanes into buildings full of people ARE terrorists and people like Scott Reoder are crazed crackpots. Just because the BOA describes these people as terrorists does not mean they are terrorists. However, if there is some reason to think they are planning terrorism, do whatever it takes. Be my guest.
By the way, are the church members, where Tiller attended, all baby killers? He was a member so they must all think the same thoughts, right? Just because Scott Reoder was a member of some group does not mean the whole group would act as he did. Just because you live in California does not mean you are for homosexual unions, right? I did a post, which was totally ignored, about a Muslim that killed an American soldier. That means all Muslims are nutcases, right? The left-leaning press reported almost nothing about that.
Do you not find it strange that the Dubya administration went after foreign terrorists (except in the questionable case of Padilla) and the BOA now thinks only our fellow Americans are terrorists?
Dude, come back to earth. I would not personally torture anyone unless it had something to do with my family, maybe. Let me tell you a little secret, if the FBI or CIA or Homeland Security, or whoever thinks Scott has some knowledge of a "ticking time bomb", as you call it, you can bet your ass they will do whatever it takes to get that information out of him. I personally am not disagreeing with your stance on torture, per se, I am at odds with you thinking Bush is the first president to sanction agressive interrogation techniques. I am also disagreeing that waterboarding is torture. And I do not think our people torture our enemies simply for sport, which is what you seem to imply. I suppose I have a little more faith in our military and agencies than you do. There may be some isolated instances of mistreatment, but that is not the norm. McCain was tortured for months (years?), long after his information was stale, simply for sport. I do not think that is what America does. I think what happened during the Bush administation would have happened during the Clinton or Carter administration, under the same circumstances. Well, maybe not Carter. He is an idiot who seemed more against us than for us. In fact, some presidents have done far worse. (Watch the History Channel sometime.)
If the FBI or CIA or Homeland Security, or whoever thinks Scott has some knowledge of a "ticking time bomb", as you call it, you can bet your ass they will do whatever it takes to get that information out of him. (Maybe if I say it several times you will acknowledge it.)
Liberals like to think there is some "vast right-wing conspiracy" (just ask Hillary) when, in fact, conservatives rarely engage in the kind of tactics that liberals so often engage in (such as environmental terrorists or animal activists).
If a pro-life group were to advocate murder then it would actually be a pro-death group. They would be what they hate. That makes no sense. I think the problem is, abortionists (the real pro-death group) would like to think that pro-lifers are as sick as they are.
Pro-lifers regret that Mr. Tiller was murdered as much as they would regret the murder of anyone. However, they rejoice in is the fact that this baby killer will not be killing any more babies just as they would if he had been the victim of a car wreck. Of course, some other pro-death baby killer will step up to claim his profits, I am pretty sure.
Scott does not belong to a terrorist group. He is a lone murderer. That is why he will not be agressively interrogated like some Muslim terrorist, not because he is white or because he claims to be a Christian. (Does he claim to be a Christian? I am a Christian and I would never do anything like that.)
Even Mr. Tiller did not believe that true Christians would act as Scott did. Otherwise he would not have been hanging around a church every Sunday, let alone be working there.
In every philosophical debate there are those who want to change the hearts and minds of those with opposing views, and there are those few who just want to snuff out those with opposing views. One bad apple can make you question the rest of the barrel, but that does not mean all the other apples are actually rotten. It simply means you have found ONE bad apple.
However, in the case of Muslim terrorists, we see bad apple after bad apple, and there is such a thing as the law of averages.
I do find it almost comical that, when a Hollywood movie is about terrorism, the terrorists are almost always a domestic, white supremacist group. Even the recent James Bond flick Casino Royale implied that the 9/11 attack was actually a plot to make millions in the stock market (by old white guys, no doubt). So I suppose it is no wonder liberals, constantly indoctrinated by Hollywood propaganda, would believe that Scott is part of a vast right-wing conspiracy, when in reality he is just a psycho.
I frankly doubt that they would have to torture Scott because there is nothing to find out. They probably already know all the members of the groups he is in since "domestic terrorists" are now the priority. What are they supposed to do, give them all psych evaluations? Too bad the president and his appointees are not subject to that.
