compares Bush WOT to Spanish Inquisition.

Well, that's another subject Lindsey clearly knows nothing about. He really needs to read up on the Spanish Inquisition if he thinks waterboarding is remotely akin the the tortures and punishments used then.

Grahamnesty is following the McCain line on this one. Unfortunately, he is too blind or too stupid to realize that what hurts us with our enemies is that we RESIST them — not that we interrogate (NOT TORTURE) them. I can assure you that they have no such qualms about what is or is not torture, nor about when to use it on our service men and women.

And has Grahamnesty ever STUDIED the Spanish Inquisition?! I have. And to compare what we allegedly did to these scum to what happened in the Inquisition displays — again — his complete ignorance or blatant stupidity.

Let’s release the rest of the classified documents per Cheney’s request and see whether or not Light Step Lindsay will break down and cry.

Graham is incorrect. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. Now the terrorists WILL expect what we are going to do with them when we capture them.

Remember, just because these interrogation techniques actually work doesn’t mean that they actually work.

Trust me on this, I’m from the government.

Correct me if I’m wrong but this Hooorah is all over
THREE subjects who received this treatment?
THREE high ranking leaders in Al Queda?
THREE Men who planned and carried out terror attacks?
THREE Men who today are whole, healthy, unscared aside
from a propensity to avoid swimming.

My god, you’d think the Bush administration was pulling the
fingernails of every falafal vendor in New York!

There's a better way........

What Graham needs to do is come forward and tell the them what the better way is and how to use it properly. If he hasn't done this then he's just as culpably, imo.

Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State (and Dick Cheney daughter) Liz Cheney rips Norah O’Donnell to shreds on waterboarding/harsh interrogation tactics in this clip.

Graham should take lessons.

Both the Spanish Inquisitors and those they tortured would've laughed at the thought of waterboarding being considered torture.

Leave it to Gomer Pyle Graham to drag out the old anti-Catholic "black legend" of the Spanish Inquisition. Read about the real Inquisition here...
