I’m refusing to respond because your arguments aren’t serious. Waterboarding by friendlies as a training exercise, in controlled conditions, is in no sense relevant to what we’re discussing here, which is torture. You know this. Your posts to me are frivolous and irrelevant.
I don’t know how you can so sterilize the mass of interrogations in the training exercises all over the world and ignore the water-boarding of many 10s of thousands of Americans and NATO troops, I almost lost a friend to one interrogation as he was close to death from being suffocated by an NBC bag, when the officer in charge of the training exercise for the MI interrogators, came in and saved him.
Those three high ranking terrorists would have been under more controlled conditions and expertise and even value, than most any other American who is being water-boarded, is going to see.
It is laughable to see you posturing as posting at FR at such a high plain, that you are above responding to other freepers on threads.
