105.  WE ARE AT WAR WITH THE REPUBLICANS.
For me, the means is as important as the end.

Abu Ghraib was a means, I do not think it was justified by the end. Others disagree(e.g. Alberto Gonzales)

J. Edgar Hoover was at war with the Commies, he was willing to win by any means possible.

For the Nazis, the fight was against the Jewish conspiracy. The SS were quite content, and indeed, felt a duty to fight "dirty." 60 years later we watch a program on Aushwitz.

For me, the process is as important as the goal. Frankly, I can not say I respect your viewpoint, that the end justifies the means.
