Yeah, and why not use the Nazi Enabling Act of 1933 as a basis for the Patriot Acts too.

I am not a Nazi. I am explaining actions of a nation.

 

I know you're not a Nazi. I agreed with your initial post actually.

 

Hitler played a hand in the creation of the Beetle. I love the Beetle. :shrug:

 

I don't think this is very probative of much of anything. It's just the reverse of an appeal to authority, and therefore a bit of a logical fallacy to assert "A ha! You're doing the same thing as Nazis" and to presume that therefore demonstrates the flaws of enhanced interrogation techniques. Nazis loved their dogs, read their children bedtime stories and used oxygen to survive, that doesn't make pet ownership, engaged parenting and respiration "Nazi techniques."

If you want to argue that enhanced interrogation techniques are bad either as policy or on a moral level, that is perfectly fine, but "it's bad because the Nazis did it" isn't a very strong position without more analysis.

 

I don't think hugging your dogs used to be a war crime or that any Nazis went to prison for it.

 

Only in that he commissioned a "peoples' car" from Porsche.

 

Still played a hand.
