That big CIA ‘torture’ report? Americans just shrugged.

A new poll from the Pew Research Center is the first to gauge reactions to last week's big CIA report on "enhanced interrogation techniques" -- what agency critics call torture.

And the reaction is pretty muted.

The poll shows people says 51-29 percent than the CIA's methods were justified and 56-28 percent that the information gleaned helped prevent terror attacks.

an old style crank field radio-phone with the wires

I remember my older sister taking psychology and having a wire cage with lab rats with a crank phone attached in her bedroom. She was trying to get them trained to perform certain functions. When she was gone my brothers and I would sneak in and crank that thing to watch them jump. Since there were five of us boys I sure the only thing they learned was to start jumping when they saw anyone with short hair.

We are seeing the end game for Progressive/Liberals America is sick of them and their labored attempt to radicalize the nation. the “Hands up don’t shoot” protests are now Commie led—the America is really AmeriKKKa Hippie idea has lost its steam. They will be swept away soon and a new Pro-America group will be in charge. Lets hope they do a better job—The GOP Leadership needs to change. We need a new, charismatic, leader who can inspire the right.

Water boarding is so harmless that fraternities turned it into a parlor game. He who lasted the longest won.

May I suggest that real torture, such as alligator clips attached to one’s privates and to a car battery would make poor entertainment for a fraternity. Too much screaming.

I would think the Democrat's insistence that water boarding is torture to the memories of our brave soldiers tortured and killed by the Viet Cong. There's no way you could compare water boarding to disembowelment.
