Fortitude! I am for it! Actually this is fun. I think it is very important to see how your opponents are thinking. It gives a taste of what screams we will hear when the next Pres. actually starts to get us out of Iraq as it seems he will be elected to do.

Besides that, if it ever comes to a threat from the outside we are all on the same team. It should be obvious by now that none of us (certainly not me) is "against america". We just differ on the best method to achieve our goals (i.e. winning)

As for your Jack Bauer scenario there isnt one of us who wouldnt get out the pliers in that situation. But that isnt what is going on in the real world. There isnt a nuclear bomb under los angeles and nobody has my wife tied up on top of it. We are talking about a bunch of cave dwellers who in fact are less dangerous than the communists (who we didnt torture and from whom we got many defectors because they thought we were the side of truth and justice) I dont want to diminish the importance of the fight but it is NOT the most dangerous fight of our lifetimes.
