Fifty-eight percent (58%) of U.S. voters say waterboarding and other aggressive interrogation techniques should be used to gain information from the terrorist who attempted to bomb an airliner on Christmas Day.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 30% oppose the use of such techniques, and another 12% are not sure.
Men and younger voters are more strongly supportive of the aggressive interrogation techniques than women and those who are older. Republicans and voters not affiliated with either major party favor their use more than Democrats.

I’m all for it, but I have to admit that a guy that would be willing to set his genitals on fire must be pretty tough (or pretty stupid).
The guy was talking, so it really did not seem necessary. Most of these guys are proud what they did and want the world to know. It might take stronger techniques to get more details, but Obama has fixed all that by insuring al Qaeda members have full Constitutional protections.
Mark Steyn: “the Pantybomber didn’t have a purse. He brought the bomb on board under his private parts, and his private parts weren’t part of his carry-on (although, if reports of injuries sustained in his failed mission are correct, they may well have been part of his carry-off).”
Yeah, I’d have to agree. Even on that M-TV show...Jackass...they never went and set their genitals on fire. That would take an awful lot of guts to flame them up and be happy about it while doing it. I’d suggest putting him into some solitary confinement area with soft piano music all day long...only female guards in limited attire....and offering a TAB every hour as the only beverage offered. After two weeks...I think he’d start to crack.
I support putting a bullet through one of his feet just to get his attention.
“I burned off my own genitals and all I got was this lousy prison jumpsuit.”
I, for one, favor waterboarding Janet Napolitano.
VAUDINE
I’m an older guy, I say use Al Qaeda’s own manual as a guide for interrogation.
LOL! Now that I think about it, I do too!
Pretty meaningless poll, actually: it’s a measure of emotion, rather than anything practical.
What can we say of the 42%?
I’d be willing to undergo the presence of scantily clad female gaurds to make sure that it’s, you know, humane.
Waterboard them anyway. :)
Worked in the movie “Guarding Tess”.
Shot a man’s big toe off, just like in real life he will start to talk when you get his attention that way.
Only two procedures are required here. Interrogate, using any means necessary, then execute, immediately.
