    I just don't think this is a case of imminent threat. Such cases may arise, but people seemed pretty quick to apply that exception to liberty here.

    Well this is more level-headed, I think. I'd have to see tangible evidence that he might actually have information that's worth 'torturing for'--which I already think he doesn't possess. In my opinion there are few torture-worthy pieces of information. And as I've suggested, I'm not sure torture is the best path to get that information.

    As you say these are vague parameters. Known guilt? That phrase bothers me. It's about human rights; just because a heinous crime has been committed doesn't mean that the suspected individual is no longer human. Either you believe in habeas corpus or you don't. Granting exceptions defeats the whole idea. We care about protecting the rights of suspected murderers and suspected criminals. You're presuming guilt, and our whole system of justice is built upon the opposite assertion. What's the old maxim, if you sacrifice liberty in the name of security, you are left with...

    Reuter's story on study by US Senate - found little of use came from tortureBehind the Mortal Bone - an academic law study, that concludes "any marginal benefit the practice offers is low because traditional techniques of interrogation may be as good, and possibly even better at producing valuable intelligence." Science Daily - Reviews a study by John W. Schiemann, where he concludes "The use of torture makes it possible to extract both real and false confessions and no ability by the state to distinguish the two" There's really quite a bit out there about it. Mostly that while torture is effective in extracting information, it isn't any more effective (and perhaps lesser effective) than regular interrogation techniques.

    Criminals have been proven to be criminals in a court of law. What Smerf is championing is doing away with habeas corpus, much less our human decency.

    You can't strip his rights away without habeas corpus. Rights are rights. I find it surprising that you don't agree with innocence until proven guilty.

    What happened here?

    Here you go.

    Hell of an at bat by Hicks.

    The Twins have been undefeated since last Sunday! Let's keep it up!

    Hasn't it been shown that these methods don't provide good intel? He's also an American citizen. So far, it looks like they were self-radicalized. The elder brother was denied citizenship within the last year which may have accelerated the radicalization. Recall that no ideological motive has been championed; they essentially did it for nothing.

    Torii just said on Fox that Los Angeles gave him a better homecoming than Minnesota, WTF Twins fans?!

    Is there an opening in Verve's basement? If not, where will this supposed time-out take place?
  14. PseudoSABR
    That's like re-gifting. Tacky.

    Robots could probably hit the ball with more power and consistency, but that doesn't make for good sport. I think Baseball, more than any other established sport, will be the most intractable about letting the human element disappear from the judgment and enforcement of its rules.

    IMO, it's always disrespectful (and lame) to ask other people to look up information that proves your point.

    Jesus can I ever watch my baseball team play?
  19. PseudoSABR
    There's no team I wish the Twins to pummel more than the Whitesox. I want the Twins to make the Pale Horse squeal.

    The point that becomes more concrete (as sample size increases) is that the signing middle-tier pitchers is a relative crapshoot. I offered Lannan as simply another pitcher that the Twins were thought to be interested in; the following paragraph (separated by two hypens, maybe that was unclear) was about the phenomenon of middle tier free agent pitchers in general.
  21. PseudoSABR
    I don't think any of those comments the least bit matter to prospective free agents.
  22. PseudoSABR
    It's impossible to have a discussion when you wish to frame every piece of evidence in terms totally favorable to your point and overall ideology. Begging? Falling all over themselves? Playing the pity potty game? Those are all ridiculous characterizations that don't strike me as very serious. Every chance you get you try to paint the Twins not only as incompetent, but as bumbling fools.
  23. PseudoSABR
    No, you're probably right. The Twins probably never thought to mention any of this!
  24. PseudoSABR
    Thanks for supplying something in the way evidence. Though, I'm not sure how you could expect other people to find these quotes, if we draw different conclusions from the same evidence. I think the quotes you provide seem pretty succinct with Anthony's interview, and I wouldn't characterize any of it as whining, pathetic or sad. The purveying attitude seems realistic, or at the very worst, resigned.

    Meyer's went 6 innings, 5ks, 4BBs, 1H, 0Rs. Pitches 86 (50 strikes).
