Question

If a nation tortures and kills prisoners because its terrorist enemies do so, is it morally the same as them?

Answer 1

Yes. However, the neocon nut jobs have us believing otherwise.

Answer 2

Which nation is "kill[ing] prisoners?"  

I haven't heard of one.  Or did you invent that?

And I guess if that country dressed up its military as civilians and betrayed the Geneva Conventions in the process, maybe it might be.

And if you know that a terrorist knows details about a nuclear bomb threat that is going to blow up your city, including your mother, father, your little dog, your best friend, and your brother, would you be okay with pouring water over that person's face?

I know the answer to that question, even if you deny it.

Answer 3

It makes them just as bad, as this country is!   "Do as I say, not as I do!"    This nation is so hypocritical, it deserves everything it gets from economic, financial, political failure.

Answer 4

Yes.  It is evil in in it's purist form no matter whether it is Bush ordering it or some other terrorist.
