The wussie UN would. However, I don’t have a problem with waterboarding if it gets the info out of these terrorists. Way to go, US!

The US should withdraw from the UN, NATO and all other entangling alliances that try to limit what we can do.

UN soldiers rape innocent women. Waterboarding pales in comparison.

The last I heard,the U.N. was still trying to figure out what the definition of “terrorist” was. They jut might have figured it out by now. I don’t know.

It is a sure bet that they would rather a whole city go up in a flash of light killing 8 million people or more than to let one little terrorist get a little wet.

THIS is who the U.N. have become.

"I suppose if we would just burn their bodies and hang them from a bridge somewhere it would be okay, though."

I'm sure the UN would have no problem with our raping them.

I remain amazed by the number of people who think sleep deprivation constitutes torture.

The Flag of the United Nations is only good for one thing.

Recognizing ANY sovereignty over our own,
is a relinquishing of our own sovereignty.

McCain, who is praised by RINOs for being pro-military, betrayed the military by convincing the world that our military tortures people. There are times in war, when information from prisoners is necessary for saving the lives of Americans, to include U.S. service-members.

Our military goes to extraordinary lengths to provide for our enemies cultural and religious concerns and even their interrogation techniques are done with professionalism that only simulates the fear of death, rather than to leave any permanent disfigurement or cause death.

McCain knows this and yet still plays politics with the lives of our military and the security of our nation. In my book, that is neither pro-military or pro-national security. How many people that vote in the general and don’t even understand how the primary system works will be discovering these things out about McCain after he’s the nominee! I overheard a discussion last night between two women were so confused about the whole process, I had to explain to them that in the primary season, Republicans pick their candidate and the Dems pick theirs. Pathetic!

How about condemning the practice of “Trakosi” in Ghana, the esteemed former UN Secretary General’s home country? Men convicted of crimes can put up their virgin daughters in lieu of serving a sentence.

Whatever UN idiots! It was done, it got info that saved lives and it will be done again if it could save more lives. The subjects of this “torture” are all still alive so it must not have been that bad.

Okay 'Manfred', no more water boarding. From now on we'll just strap them to a Lazyboy and make them listen to Yoko Ono records.

I bet they talk in 20 seconds, or less.

Does anyone here remember the U.N. making this much of a commotion at all about the treatment of U.S. POWs in Vietnam? I don’t.
