   Nice try, Darrin, but I don’t think that anyone who is aware of Japanese atrocities against everyone they invaded and everyone they captured compares to the almost laughably restrained treatment of Al Qaeda members by the CIA.

   Do you think the Imperial Japanese Army checked with the Emperor’s legal counsel before bayonetting babies in China and the Philippines?

   But there is one valid historical comparison between the WWII Japanese and Al Qaeda: the crashing of manned airplanes into targets.

   (Abu Ghraib I concede was an atrocity, but people went to jail for that.)

   Torture is torture no matter what the scale. As for Abu Ghraib, the wrong people were imprisoned. The foul swine that decided the policies should be imprisoned for life.

   You mean “scapegoats” went to jail for that. The people who ordered them to do what they did went scott free. In WW2, we went after the big fish, not just the small fish. THAT is what Obama doesn’t have the guts to do.

   I believe it was OUR BOYS who did the torturing of The Enemy this time! That is NOT an exact parallel - it’s the OPPOSITE of ‘48!!!
