Taking away a kids phone and giving him a doll will likely elicit a violent response, but cool on you to decide what brings people happiness.

Trotting out the token good case scenario while torture occurs in the bad case is classic propaganda, but way to defend torture, you get a hold star today.

How sweet, wonderful propaganda, mean while other innocents at Guantanamo experience the joys of anal rehydration and the Kafka esque life of indefinite imprisonment without trial.

But yeah, I'm glad the NY times can share such heart warming news.

This is a non-sequitur, or as the saying goes, the Germans kept the trains running on time?

If ISIS begins collecting taxes to fund road construction and terrorism does that somehow white wash terrorism? Of course not, yet the same tired argument is being made here because of misguided belief in American exceptionaliam, double think is alive and well when people can speak of road building one day while condemning torture the next. Those who work and fund the US government are funding genocide, you must accept that fact, you can down vote all you want to bury the truth but it remains the truth.

Disgusting hypocrisy on display, utterly disgusting, and no real counter argument has been made.

Considering those tax dollars go towards torture, murder, indefinite imprisonment, war crimes, genocide, illegal surveillance, and other tragedies I applaud any company which finds novel ways of resisting the tyranny of the united States government.

Huh, if only there were some way to digitally sign and secure communications, perhaps some sort of... Encryption scheme could be used to ensure accuracy of information...

Outlawing torture didn't make a lick of difference.

Anyone who trusts an institution which repeatedly lies, tortures, and murders with impunity, an institution responsible for millions of deaths, is insane.

Why comply with unjust illegitimate laws created to serve a monopoly?

Why comply with a framework designed not for your benefit or societies benefit but for the purpose of maintaining a monopoly on others peoples labor, socializing cost and individualizing profit. Laws are not created for the people and by the people, they are made by corrupted individuals for those with the most wealth and power, complying with them is no better than complying with any other sort of violent oppression.

Your equivocation of clearly immoral behavior is suggestive.

Is stealing wrong? Yes, yes it is. How many more decades of a failed war on drugs policy do you need before you accept and argue for a change of course?

When bad laws create the incentive which results in 10,000s of murders it is imperative to change those incentives, even the Mexican government is now clamoring for change, but the war on drugs is too convenient for the status quo and justifies all sorts of government empowerment.

But in the face of a murderous institution I'm happy we have some fellow Willing to equivocate and defend senseless murder, torture, and theft, good job dude.

How much more evidence do people need before we all readily conceed that America is a police state?

Before you can change reality you must first understand the reality that exists.

Police steal and murder without consequence. They are a gang of murderous thugs protected by a corrupt court and legislative body.
