I don't think there's such thing as being "fully prepared for a nuclear terrorist attack."
At the time those EITs were used, they were deemed legal.
The legalities ground / public opinion / government opinion has shifted since then.
In violation of international treaty to which the US is subject to. Treaties are supreme law of the land.
Relabeling something doesn't change the law. The US government broke the law. It was always against the law, that never shifted.
Additionally, torture violates the cruel and unusual punishment clause of the US constitution.
Supremacy Clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaIn Reid v. Covert, 354 U.S. 1 (1957), the Supreme Court held stated that the U.S. Constitution supersedes international treaties ratified by the U.S. Senate.
Supremacy Clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Supremacy Clause is the provision in Article Six, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution that establishes the United States Constitution, federal statutes, and treaties as "the supreme law of the land." It provides that these are the highest form of law in the United States legal system, and mandates that all state judges must follow federal law when a conflict arises between federal law and either a state constitution or state law of any state.
A terrorist event wouldn't have the safeguard of containment domes.Two of those locations involved zero fatalities!
I suggest however much money it takes to keep up safe go for it..........
Its a sad day when America would lower its standards and sell out its integrity. If we ever reach the point that you suggest NP, then the Terrorists have won at having destroyed America and our way of life.
Meaningless rhetoric, the amount of money would be mind boggling, the amount of safe bought an illusion.
How exactly do you fully prepare for a nuclear terrorist attack? I await your answer with baited breath.
If info gained from torture can save one life (as it has done) and maybe even save the life of a loved one of yours I say go for it.
Why not make the prisioners sqeal on each other by promising fairer treatment?
They already get the fairest treatment of any prison in the world.

There is still a 30 mile exclusion zone around Chernobyl 28 years after the disaster. I visited the complex a few years ago.
My dosimeter read 3.62 µSv/h (microsievert per hour). Simply put, the radiation dose received in one hour of exposure is equivalent to what a typical person would receive in one year.

Your probably right but we can be a hell of a lot better prepared then we are.
You think Russia and China are prepared?
Your probably right but we can be a hell of a lot better prepared then we are.
I believe we should do whatever it takes to save American lives and that includes torture.
You can't but you can do a hell of a lot more then Obama and his cronies are ding.
I know they don't value human life as we do, especially China besides this is about a rogue nation like North Korea or Iran.
I'm still waiting for your answer. As usual, you simply huff and puff and blame Obama for everything. Tiresome.
My dad warned me that I would be known, partly, by the company I keep. Do you believe that?
