I have spent many happy hours arguing exactly that with California
Police officers......My wife's grandson-in-law happens to be one. In
many cases they agree with my position on the matter.

This is the ChrisH School of Reasoning. If you know one person who
shares your opinion, that means "everyone" agrees with you.

I had a police officer explain matters to me this way:

"If you shoot me when I come to enforce a gun ban, I won't hold it
against
you."

Many police disagree with some of the laws that they are required to
enforce, but they do their jobs anyway.

They shouldn't. "It is the responsibility, not the right, of good men
to disobey bad laws." - Spencer Tracy, in "Judgment at Nuremberg."

So how come the US military is still using torture and the excuse is
they were just following orders?

No discussion of U.S. military "torture" can be complete without a
reading
of Ann Coulter's column on the subject, which puts it somewhat in
perspective:

I was always understood, that a dinner date with Anne Coulter was an
accurate description of torture, or cruel and unusual punishment.

I'm sure that would be true for a leftist-"liberal." They tend to have
foaming-at-the-mouth conniption fits at the mere mention of her name.
Personally I enjoy her wit amd humor very much, so I'm sure I'd enjoy dinner
with her too.

And yet it is Coulter who accuses people of being traitors just for
daring to disagree with the pro-war, pro-torture, anti-American
agenda.
