No, Chloe, I understand the WHOLE statement. So what? It is from 
al-Qaeda. What else do you expect from them? Kisses and hugs?

Raggedy people on every street corner in every great population center 
on the planet have been mumbling the same senseless, mindless, idiotic 
crap for decades, if not centuries. 

So what? We should become torturers to satisfy what? 

Listen closely: torture doesn't work. Every regime in history that made 
torture the cornerstone of their military/intelligence has fallen, and 
rightly so. 

You really want to bring the "war" on terrorism home? Then legitimize 
torture, and get exactly what you deserve.
