“Obamaboarding”....Is it torture?.....Yes...I am being tortures daily by this runt with big ears in the White House!

“The Central Intelligence Agency told CNSNews.com today that it stands by the assertion made in a May 30, 2005 Justice Department memo that the use of “enhanced techniques” of interrogation on al Qaeda leader Khalid Sheik Mohammed (KSM) — including the use of waterboarding — caused KSM to reveal information that allowed the U.S. government to thwart a planned attack on Los Angeles”

One problem with this assertion. Sheikh Mohammed wasn’t captured until March 2003, but the second wave was stopped in 2002.

Fact Sheet: Keeping America Safe From Attack
In 2002, we broke up a plot by KSM to hijack an airplane and fly it into the tallest building on the West Coast. During a hearing at Guantanamo Bay two months ago, KSM stated that the intended target was the Library Tower in Los Angeles.

The same liberals that are crying about “harsh interrogation techniques” such as temperature extremes, cramped quarters and loud music (all of which KSM and the other key terrorists were somehow able to bear for months on end) wouldn’t last three seconds under an interrogation which involved real torture.

Hell, we waterboard our SpecOps troops every day during SERE training. Let's move on to some real pain and torture and start having Joe Biden do the interrogations, that will drive them nuts.

Obama’s new interrogation technique ...
“Could you please tell us where the bomb is hidden?”
No answer.
“Could you please please tell us where the bomb is hidden?”
No answer.
“If you tell us where the bomb is hidden we’ll give you two free pizzas and a season pass to Dollywood.”

Can’t you violent people stop and think for just 5 minutes.

Of course Waterboarding is torture. It’s far worse than using a knife to cut off a persons head.

I have seen the videos and it’s is clear that waterboarding takes much more time, thus extending the fear of death and presents far great potential for potential for damaging the victims self esteem.

I doubt that when a freshly severed head is pointed back at it’s body, the brain doesn’t continue, for all that long, for the person to recognize it’s dead body.
