Let’s prosecute everyone, Republican or Democrat, who allowed these techiques. The U.S. prosecuted the Japanese for waterboarding and Reagan did the same when he prosecuted a sheriff who engaged in that method. Torture clearly violates the law.

“The U.S. prosecuted the Japanese for waterboarding”

Wrong. They filled the stomach with a couple o gallons of water and caused permanent injury. There is no relation to this method that we use - our type of boarding only gives you the feeling that you are going to drown - it doesn’t actually cause harm. You have been suckered by the repeated lies of the press...

I hope I'm not giving Boehner too much credit, but I probably am - it could just be a stall to let her think her dopey strategy is working.

In other words, if she wants to rub crap all over herself, wait until she's completely finished before pointing out that she stinks.

During World War II, water cure was among the forms of torture used by Japanese troops (especially the Kempeitai) in occupied territory. A report from the postwar International Military Tribunal for the Far East summarized it as follows:

“The so-called ‘water treatment’ was commonly used. The victim was bound or otherwise secured in a prone position; and water was forced through his mouth and nostrils into his lungs and stomach until he lost consciousness. Pressure was then applied, sometimes by jumping upon his abdomen to force the water out. The usual practice was to revive the victim and successively repeat the process.” [19]

^ Judgement of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (1948). Part B, Chapter VIII, p. 1059.

As for the Sherriff, was it a Texas sheriff’s job to interrogate captured terrorists withholding secret plans to murder Americans? No. He was prosecuted for the same reason that it be improper for him to use surface to air missiles to blow up a neighborhood full of crack houses.

Situation is everything, isn’t it?

You are remarkably trusting of authority to make these judgments. Some people in the Obama administration would consider you a terrorist for even writing on this site. in their view, the “situation” might merit treatment for you. I don’t trust Obama and his ilk to make such decisions. You apparently do.

Geez Captain Kirk, I have to admit I do not know what the hell you are talking about, but God bless you if you live in fear...I don’t.

You are entitled to your opinion, I will withold mine until Obama releases the documents that tell us how many terrorist operations were stopped.

I guess that means forever.

Let me elaborate. By giving Obama the power to torture, you are showing great trust in him not to abuse these power. Get it now?! God bless you too.
