The Real Torture Scandal in America: No, It Has Nothing to do with Waterboarding
American Thinker ^ | 12/13/2014 | Tom Trinko

Posted on 12/13/2014 10:36:55 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Waterboarding is not designed to kill anyone.  None of the other enhanced interrogation techniques that liberals are screaming about are designed to cause lasting damage or death.

The reality is that the “torture” that liberals are getting upset about would be called torture only in the First World; in the rest of the world, it would be considered a mild first step.

That doesn’t mean that enhanced interrogation techniques are acceptable or moral, but it does mean that they are a far cry from what most of the world thinks of when they hear the word “torture.”

On the other hand, there is a real torture epidemic in America.  Every year, around 12,000 Americans are legally tortured to death.  None of them is guilty of a crime, and, shockingly, people of color are much more likely to be victims than whites.  Blacks are nearly eight times as likely to be tortured to death than whites.

These are the unborn babies who are aborted after 20 weeks, when they can feel pain.

Such late-term abortions are done in one of two ways:

1) Dilation and evacuation (D&E): Where the unborn child is literally hacked to pieces without anesthetic

2) Saline abortion: Where a saline solution is injected into the womb, and the unborn child is poisoned.  Death can take as long as 24 hours, and the solution gives the unborn child burns over his or her entire body.  No anesthetic is used.

3) Digoxin injection: Where a massive heart attack is induced in the unborn child via the misuse of the drug Digoxin.

Amazing to me how many people seem to be against “torture” methods used here,but don’t say much about the barbaric stuff going on in other countries,& seem nearly oblivious to the real torture & murder(abortion)going on here right under their noses every day.

The “real” torture we all experience is having LIBs in any position of authority or responsibility.
