The water boarding debate is back on, primarily because the administration can’t ignore the fact that it led to the elimination of Osama bin Laden. The enhanced use of a Netti pot is not only effective, it’s also safe for all concerned.
The water boardees are attended to by a plethora of experts, including physicians and psychologists to ensure the protection of their delicate sensibilities. We also water board our own troops.
Unfortunately, pundits in both camps are confused about how enhanced interrogations actually work. Liberals are always spewing the fiction that information gained via water boarding is not reliable. This argument reflects their profound misunderstanding of the process.
Water boarding is not used to get information. It’s used solely to secure an agreement to cooperate with authorities. The moment the detainee indicates a willingness to talk, it all stops. The bad guy actually has complete control over the outcome.
Since liberals think life mimics television, they envision a scenario in which the terrorist starts spouting phony information just to make the interrogation stop.
In the real world, it stops the moment the poor dear makes it stop by committing himself to cooperate. Then he is transferred to another batch of experts who will work on developing a rapport with the terrorist in hopes of getting useful information. It doesn’t happen in one day. It’s a long, drawn out affair; but, as we learned the other day, a worthy one.
The fact theat we have interrogators on trial...the same people that squeezed info from THE ENEMY...is appalling.
May Obama and his Dem thugs rot in hell.
And Holder...he's another piece of cr**.
Personally, I'd like to see ALL the "pundits" water boarded so they'd know what the ($#&*(@$ they were talking about.
It ain't so bad (looking back with 30 years memory buffer in between). LOL!
Btt
So when some lefty tells you the information that led to OBL didn't come out while KSM (or anyone else) was waterboarded, they're telling only half the story. It came out because they were waterboarded, period.
It's lying by omission. Like: "Officer,I had two beers." while ommitting "Then I had five more." Yes, to have seven beers you have to have two. But mentioning only the two is a lie.
