Not necessarily; you always want to save things in case they are needed later. Never expend all of your ordnance at once.

That's why they had to manufacture doubts about the President's birth place, or about his so called socialistic political stance.
Both are actually questionable but that’s a moot point by now and I don’t feel like un-mooting it.

And the only place where American lives were saved directly by use of torture is on 24. A lot of your Republican brethren seen to forget that it's only a TV show.
I’ve only watched 24 a few times.

I won’t condone the practice but on the other hand I’m not so naive as to get up on a soapbox and publicly protest it, either. It is and will continue to be a disturbing yet periodic practice of the human race.
