Hell-en?
Where were you when conservatives were critical of the torture techniques being applied to the Branch Davidians in Waco which included little children?
You stood behind this government when they tore up graves, played the sound of rabbits being skinned alive, “These Boots Are Made For Walking”, and sleep deprivation, topped off with a gas attack that is prohibited in international warfare.
Stuff a sock in it.
She needs to staple that back up into place.
I’ll listen to Helen Thomas if she lets the CIA video her being waterboarded.
Liberal Law Enforcement:
1. People of color must not be inconvenienced, even if criminals.
2. If Bush is for it, we must be against it.
3. Make exceptions in the law for every religion except Christianity.
4. Oh, and Dick Cheney too.
That miserable old troll’s ugly mug is torture.
Who can I sue?
Not secret any more you tempestuous twat....
She used to piss off the Chester A. Arthur administration also.
Apologies to Fred Sanford...”Helen, go put your head in the freezer and make us some ugly-sicles”.
Why have so many good men and women left us so early in life while this decrepit old fossil is still sucking air?
Thanks for the alert, but if I tried to hurl Helen Thomas I’d wind up in the hospital...
Last week it was Fat Tuesday. This week it must be Ugly Tuesday.
Waterboarding is probably a walk in the park when compared with the merciless beating that Helen Thomas received with an the ugly stick.
My dear wife and I were out shopping the other day in northern Virginia. We walked by a car in the parking lot(a real s-box from DC) that carried the bumper sticker “Zero Tolerance For Torture!”
I told my wife, perhaps we should put a sticker on our car that read “Zero Tolerance For Meatheads From DC!” ?
I have a chronic congestion problem and have found that relief can be had without drugs or surgery. The answer is the age old Yoga cleansing ritual of pouring saline solution through you nose and sinus passages. The practice has the following benefits:
* Removes mucus and pollution of the nasal passages and sinuses
* Helps to prevent respiratory tract diseases
* Daily use relieves allergies, colds and sinusitis
* Beneficial in the treatment of headaches and migraines
This is carried out with the head horizontal and rotated to the side so that salt water introduced into the upper nostril flows through the sinus passages and out the lower nostril. There is absolutely no danger of salt water entering the esophagus or lungs.
As "waterboarding" is carried out with the head lower then the torso it seems very unlikely that water would enter the lungs. It is necessary to remember to breath through your mouth while using a "Neti pot" to cleanse your sinuses and I would think the same strategy would work for "waterboarding".
The practice of Yoga is widespread and the use of salt water to cleanse your nasal passages is part of a daily ritual for millions of people worldwide. I expect that many of them are having a gentle laugh as our learned leaders attempt to define what is obstensively a harmless ritual as torture.

PS Mayhap they would prefer it if we used warmer water?
Did their car have one of those spiffy “taxation without representation” license plates?
You bet!
“Zero tolerance for torture”
What do they propose we do with those who do torture? What is the punishment? And isn’t that being intolerant?
Ever see a bumpersticker that says “zero tolerance for terrorism”? The peaceniks (read Commies) never go there. They carry banners that say “I support the insurgency”.
They do not represent a PEACE movement. They are anti-American war. They have chosen a side in the combat and it is against us.
