Torture??

These idiots don't what torture is.

But I would personally rather pull each finger nail and toe nail out of these rats and progressively break every bone in their collective bodies one at a time before I would have to watch the spectacle of what we saw on 9-1-1:
American men and women, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, blacks, whites and Asians, sons and daughters being roasted alive or jumping to their deaths from scores of stories above ground because some lunatic with a death wish following a cult called "Islam" decides to take out his hatred for the west on innocent civlians.

Torture??

Baloney.

Most FR polls are NOT indicative of much of anything.

There are 28,000 members here. How many voters, were on this poll, that you quote...1,000, 2,000?

And massacring DONALD RUMSFELD's name, is juvenile and rather DUish. Go spread your doom&gloom some place else.

All groups send this stuff out to keep their troops interested, motivated, and above all, sending cash.

They couldn't touch Kissinger for VietNam (and a few other things). They gave it a good shot to convinct Pinochet, but as I recall, he died before anything happened (and he was responsible for thousands of real tortures and real deaths).

Rumsfeld will be bothered by these idiots for a while, but they won't be able to do more than harass him.

"Ronald Dumsfeld is part of our 36% approval rating."

Yes..if you believe a "poll of adults" with an eight point undersampling of Republicans.

I agree with the premise of your claim about the immigration issue but I would not panic just yet, there is still time for the GOP to come around. Keep in mind, blacks and Union "Members" can't be real happy Democrat constituents either.

Some info from Human Rights Watch web site:

"The interrogation log reveals that al-Qahtani was subjected to a regime of physical and mental mistreatment from mid-November 2002 to early January 2003. For six weeks, he was intentionally deprived of sleep, forced into painful physical positions (known as stress positions) and subjected to forced exercises, forced standing, and sexual and other physical humiliation."

"After refusing water, al-Qahtani was forced to accept an intravenous drip for hydration and, on several occasions, was refused trips to a latrine, so that he urinated on himself at least twice. He was also threatened with forced enemas, and on one occasion was forced to undergo an enema."

"A six-week regime of sleep deprivation, forced exercises, stress positions, white noise, and sexual humiliation amounts to acts that were specifically intended to cause severe physical pain and suffering and severe mental pain and suffering," said Mariner. "That’s the legal definition of torture."

"Al-Qahtani, who is alleged to have been a "20th hijacker," was denied entry to the United States in August 2001. Pentagon spokesman Gordon told Salon.com on Thursday that al-Qahtani was an "al-Qaida terrorist" who provided a "treasure trove" of information during his interrogation. (The information al-Qahtani is said to have provided, however, is still classified.)" The last paragraph justifies whatever sleep deprivation that Al-Qahtani received. Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld should be exonerated. Instead it proves that any noble organization in the hands of leftist, becomes a waste.

LOL......... every time I see that guy I think of "Fabian" the late 50's semi-heartthrob/singer. That guy looks like Fabian with about 10 extra years on him.
