Imagine what the ComPost writers would say if the CIA had read the Al Qaida Torture Manual to them!

In a separate encounter, a power drill was held near Nashiri's body and repeatedly turned on and off

OH NOES!!!!

IS it safe?

That was my first thought! What's the difference between this and sitting in any dentist's waiting room?

They were merely letting him know that trepanation and assisted suicide are covered under Obama Care.

Three months before Nashiri's capture, the head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel -- Jay S. Bybee, now a federal judge -- advised the CIA in an August 2002 memo that threats of "imminent death" were not illegal unless they deliberately produced prolonged mental harm.

Sounds like a green light to me.

“And most important, what bit did they use?”

I’d use a 2” Forstner bit! Very wicked looking!

“What world do these idiots live in?”

The world where “I’d like to buy the world a coke” is the theme song and “Can’t we all just get along” is the motto.

It is not a world based in reality.

“I try to care what we do to/with captured terrorists, I really do....”

...but I keep remembering the USS Cole, the Twin Towers and the horrifying screams of Nick Berg as his head was slowly sawed off.....then I take a breathe, wipe an eye and thank GOD that we have men such as these in the CIA!

Jack Bauer: I'm done talking with you, you understand me? You've read my file. The first thing I'm going to do is take out your right eye, and then I'm gonna move over and take out your left, and then I'm going to cut you. I'm gonna keep cutting you until you give me the information that I need. Do you understand me? So for the last time, where is the nerve gas?

Not only that, but we need to know the brand name and model number of the drill... Imagine the retail promotion and sponsorship possibilities...

A forstner is a nice bit. It simple does not wander when drilling. Leaves a nice straght hole. Good for that detailed work of interigation.

Well if they had to resort to the fake execution, I guess the afternoon tea and crumpets and the ice cream for dessert didn’t work.

Oh well, back to the drawing board...

YES! The ideas are endless. “A tool for every job” “When you absolutely have to make a hole in one.” Oh and it has a screw driver attachment. Yes the bad guys are just so screwed. I am having way too much fun here. And we won’t even GO into attachments.

GW should have issued pardons to all CIA members involved in interrogation of high value terrorisis and should have issued an executive order saying all techniques used in interrogations of those terrorists were national security matters. Sure, leftscum heads would have exploded, but who cares?

Zero would have had to issue a counter-order or Congress would have had to pass a law that zero signed for a court to order the release of that info. That would be political suicide, so when zero refused, more leftscum heads would have exploded.

PS The pardons couldn’t be “undone.”

if the other side is not a participant in the Geneva Convention, then there are no rules and there are no limits

Thats the way it HAS TO BE if you want to win.

We are in a war to the death with these radicals. You can't be nice to them, they just take advantage and stab you in the back. We must sink to their level and defeat them at their own game.

What we have done is not really torture, or terrorism. It has a purpose, that being to obtain information from people who know secrets of strategic value.

Slicing a man's head off while he is alive, conscious, and tied up with ropes in front of a video camera IS torture and terrorism. It serves no purpose other than to sadistically inflict pain, instill a fleeting moment of terror in the victim, and project that terror to the civilized public.

Bush took off the gloves as far as he could according to our laws and the left is still killing him for it. Now Obama is putting the ladies dress gloves on and we are sitting ducks.
