“Lot's of rape in the Bible”? Not generally highly though of there, although I will admit that a lot of it was committed by God's people. God sometimes permits things He does not condone.
You could threaten rape, or break a leg. but these are much more severe than I understand waterboarding to be.
In any event, give me your plan.
I don't say waterboard every 14-year old with an AK-47, but if the leaders are captured alive, I have no objections to a little persuasion.
Hey, if terrorists want to be treated by Geneva convention rules, then let them fight according to them.
The issue of this article was never whether waterboarding or other measures are a useful national security tool. The question was whether it is a Christian choice, one Jesus would approve.
Neither the article nor the comments has been persuasive on this point.
