    It is possible and encouraged to try and have empathy for even the worst of people.

    Am I an islamic terrorist because I think the CIA shouldn’t torture the 9/11 planners for two decades?

      Torture isn’t imprisonment though. One of them is an established method of punishment for actual criminals and the other one is just pointless.

      Also the US has the death penalty so you know I suppose it’s proportionate by their standards.
