Chug,

Tell me about the London Cage thing. When it gets brought up all we heard is the sound of Crickets. Why no outcry over that?

That is the kind of hypocrisy that I talk about.

Pretending the UK has no skeletons in the closet is ignoring reality.

You too have used coercive interrogation techniques....and did so during that War.

Did not German Agents not get the fine choice of cooperating or being shot?

Of course they did, and under the concept of the way Spies get handled during Wartime I don't have much problem with it and you should not either.

But when One argues morality and makes it a very strict black and white construct then you leave yourself no wiggle room do you.

So...until you first admit the London Cage (and others existed and coercive techniques were used) then I shall have to consider you refusing to engage in any kind of true intellectual debate about this.

That is my problem with those who wish to see it in a one way fashion....not because of the nationalities that are involved but just the fact that you refuse to accept that your own side participated in exactly the same kind of conduct.

I guess that shoe pinches when it is on the other foot.
