Waterboarding is NOT TORTURE!!!! There is no physical injury and when the process is complete, the subject is in fine health.

Ah, so you don't mind a little government-sponsored psychological torture then. How nice for you. Hope it comes to your family first.

We water-board federal employees by the tens of thousands, It even happens in NATO schools.

I'm sure we can trust the government to apply these methods only to terrorists....

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid slammed supporters of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, calling them "domestic terrorists."
So, by the apologists' logic, it's OK to waterboard the lot of 'em.

How mindless are you?

1) We’re talking about a process that is (or was) a standard part of Officer training.
2) We’re talking about applying only to a few Terrorist kingpins in the midst of an asymetrical war on terror.
3) In particular, KSM gave up data that saved countless lives.
4) It was NOT applied to the general population of “Unlawfull Combatants” at Gitmo.
5) Pretending that my support of the above, is transferable to a concern about the U.S. government doing the same to its citizens, is just plain nuts.
