Bill Bennett and Sean Hannity Support Torturing Saddam

FOXNews

I didn't watch H&C. What type of torture were they condoneing?

I'm probably the wrong person to ask. I have spoken with too many troops who were assigned the task of digging up mass graves. They are going to have to make him psychologically miserable in order for him to cooperate.

I was amazed to hear hear the things Bill Bennet was saying. Sean Hannity stopped short of the cattle prod (in the radio interview not tv).

I think it would work out jes fine if we shipped him to a Commonwealth country for the SAS to question him since the alphabet channels would really get their panties in a wad if we did my first choice - ship him to Israel for Mossad to question him. Our reps could listen via intercom, no reason for them to get their dainty, refined little hands dirty.

Saddam had best thank his lucky stars that I'm NOT in charge of his safety, well being and interrogation. I say this because I don't give a rip about his welfare or health. I would want to KNOW, real quick, about the status of Captain Scott Speicher, and would have no compunction whatsoever in obtaining that info post haste.

You think the relatives of those got Saddamy's acid bath can do less of a job than us??? I think if we turned him over the Iraqis, he's worm food.

I'm envisioning something ala Clockwork Orange. Saddam strapped to a chair with his eyelids propped open and being forced to watch an endless loop of The Bachelor.

[Mr Cobol]

Can you post exactly what they said that made you say that? I didn't see it but I doubt that they said they supported torture.

Is the purpose of your post to state that you have sympathy for this mass killer?

I would hope we would do anything we need to do to get info from this vile person.

[Chu Gary]

"I would not support it because not only is it wrong, but it is ineffective."

It is perfectly effective if done properly. I have VN vets, (Vietnamese people, that is, not U.S. vets) who have first hand experience. Torture and intimidation are very effective in eliciting info from recalcitrant folks.

Bill Bennett said needles under the fingernails type stuff. I don't have a problem with sodium pentathol, but I was really surprised to hear Bennett say that. Hannity I could kind of expect, because sometimes he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Torture is too good for him.

Pluck all the intel you can from him and lock him away in solitary until he dies.

No visits, no outside information, just 24/7 Saddam in his little cell with 3 squares a day and an hour of exercise by himself.

Make him irrelevant as possible

His only visitors will be potential heads of state who won't cooperate in the war on terror to see what is in store for them.

[Diverdogz]

We sure don't need Bill Bennett running the show.
A good ol' fashioned hanging will satisfy the bloodlust of the torture crowd while being a humiliating, yet relatively humane end to Saddam's despicable life.

Heard from Noriega lately?

[Flightdeck]

See #29. No, I have no sympathy at all for the slug. I just happen to be a person who doesn't think a policy of torture is the right thing.

Welcome to FR.

The Atlantic Magazine recently did a feature on torture, whether it works, etc. The consensus of opinion was that the best way to get information out of a man, Saddam in this case, was to line him up with other suspects and then shoot the man to the right. If this doesn't work, shooting the man to the left will.

[xrp]

I say we hook Saddam up with a week of XTREME GAMBLING in Las Vegas with Bill Bennett. That'll coax any information out of Saddam!

[ConservativeMan55]

I like the tactic we used on the AL-Queda guys.

We built an entire prison and told Al-Queda prisoner A that he was in Saudi Arabia.

He thought we had transferred him into Saudi Arabia!

He was scared to death. When threatened, he started providing the phone numbers of high ranking Saudi officials to try and get out of his predicament.

[rintense]

Let the Iraqis decide. If they want to stick a cattle prod up his arse, so be it.

[hametzpay]

We are swimming in a sea of political correctness that, according to the International Court Tribunal, precludes the death penalty before this judicial process begins. If the International community were to decide, judges would preside, with minds so open, that they honestly wouldn't have an inkling if Saddam was even a criminal. Nothing would be decided ahead of time except the most important thing of all, ie Saddam gets an automatic free pass from consequences for the millions of lives he ruthlessly snuffed out.

Speaking of freedom, Serb strongman, Slobidan Milosevich is still on trial with 2 years or more to go. Do you want Saddam to keep his secrets that would be invaluable to defeating terrorism, hidden in his heart for all those years, maybe never to be known?

All this to say, it is best to do whatever it takes to protect as many lives as possible by learning as much as possible by ALL MEANS POSSIBLE.

Let the bleeding heart liberals worry about the rest afterwards.

LOL... we don't need rat bags to get info

[JZoback]

Heard from Noriega lately?

My point exactly.

Mr Pineapple face is sitting in a cell, I think in Miami, rotting away.
