I posted this for the photios.... I don't agree with Corn. Water boarding is not torture the way we do it

Begs the question: Is torture ever appropriate? My recollection is that the Guy Fawkes plot was brought to light by torture. The liberal would have preferred that king and Parliament have been blown to smithereens?

So we should ask Corn--what is your point?
The libs just don't get it.
God forbid they should ever have control of Gitmo.

I think we should hold their heads down in a toilet myself until they talk. This waterboarding looks way too humane.....

the article.

Thanks for posting the article. It's good "grist for the mill" on this topic.

they're also designed specifically to generate a (usually false) confession, not to obtain genuinely actionable intel. This isn't a matter of sacrificing moral values to keep us safe; it's sacrificing moral values for no purpose whatsoever.

If we had been using waterboarding to get fake confessions instead of good intel then our intelligence services would be pretty damn stupid. Corn seems to be confusing the method with the purpose. You could use this method for actionable intelligence, fake confessions or just because you like doing it. If you are doing one of the last two you are just wasting time.

I also seriously believe that if the CIA were to come up with the ultimate truth serum - no side effects, no way to fake results and the person being questioned is awake and lucid instead of drowsy and confused - the Dems would be against using it if it helped President Bush win the war. Their hatred for the President seems to far outweigh any love for their country they might have.

small oops here. . .then=them. ..(of course) but then. . .Nancy did stumble about, as well, on that apparently unfamiliar Golden Rule quote she offered. . .

In the new đefinition, torture is any procedure that induces someone to whom the Democrats and the rest of the left are allied to talk.

uh.... ok.

I'm thinking that this could be one of those makeover shows to clean up the wood, put some color on the leg and arm restraints... maybe a color coordinated hood with a water can or hose with decorations on it.

Now the room could get redone into a little colonial or French provincial type of furniture...

the libs would like the stark more "modern' stainless steel look... I'd like the rustic look with maybe a couple of heads mounted on the wall, some posters or photos of the employees holding battery cables, cattle prods, dremels, just the fun loving happy photos that make the work place a nice place to work..

maybe some 2 ply Koran toilet paper in a camel shaped dispenser....with a Mohammad plastic target in the bowl of the toilet.
