Sorry, I just don't care if terrorists have their interrogations "enhanced...

Posted on 12/18/2014 1:08:18 PM PST by The Looking Spoon



I've lost a few friends on my social networks thanks to this post.

I'm sorry not sorry. I just don't know how this is even debatable.

People who condemn this stuff must be confused because it seems like they think the intelligence community is engaging in these measures against terrorists for the fun of it...They're not!

The "torture" isn't taking place in a vacuum. I would LOVE for one of these self-styled liberal "doves," just one, to tell me that if they would hold their head high after a terror attack that killed thousands or more because its prevention failed due to a refusal to extract information using methods such as waterboarding.

And they also need to knock it off with the false equivalence. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the innocents whose heads terrorists will saw off (among other things) and broadcast on the internet would probably choose waterboarding for themselves if they were afforded the luxury of being given a choice between the two.

So these barbarian psychopaths are getting off MUCH easier than their victims. So knock it off with the morally-confused outrage.

I might have a problem with the definition of terrorist when it expanded to include NRA members, Tea Partiers, former service members, Constitutionalists, etc.

Nappy and Obola already took care of that for you.

Has any democrat ever produced a comprehensive list of what interrogation tachniques are torture and which are not?

Of course they haven’t. To do so would require having an actual belief system and thought process, rather than simply being knee-jerk reactionaries in opposition to everything that might keep us safe and make terrorists uncomfortable. It’s much easier to just scream “Bush’s CIA did horrible things!” then go get a latte and feel smug.

Personally, I like the waterboarding with pig’s blood idea in the comment upthread.
