58. Another confused post

other statement you made contradict what you are saying


Can you provide an example?

As for the overall issue, I am not "defending torture." I am saying that I can imagine a hypothetical situation in which it could be justified if the balance were hurting one person versus 3,000 people dying horrible deaths.

Are you saying that you would rather see 3,000 people die that see one person waterboarded?

That said, I don't think we have faced that hypothetical situation.

I don't know how much clearer I can make it for you.
