You are entitled to your opinion and I will fight for your right to state it. However, I am not alone in my assessment, just saying.
lol.. Water boarding is not fatal and MANY US service members have gone through it for training purposes. Do you have and unnatural fear of water?
Waterboarding is NOT torture.
Yes, it is.
I’ve lost count of the threads you are “preaching” on. Say hello to your boss Dianne Feinstein.
You were a female JAG, right?
So you do have an unnatural fear of water.
Condoning it for certain circumstances, condones it for all.
Before this is all said and done, the US Government will apologize to Al Qaeda for all post-911 “aggression”.
Yes.
lol
Yeah, I have a healthy respect for water, I used to be a lifeguard. You?
Pray tell...how do YOU know “the torture is gratutious”
9/11 Widow: “Torture Was Watching What Happened on 9/11”

Terry Strada, a New Jersey native whose husband Tom Strada was killed in the 9/11 terror attacks, was confounded at Senate Democrats’ decision to release a report on CIA ‘torture’ when, she said, “torture was watching what happened on 9/11.”
“What torture was–torture is watching what happened on 9/11, watching people jump out of the buildings to save themselves, to die as opposed to being burned to death or smoke… I had to listen to my husband on the phone when he called me that morning. Torture is telling your children that their father was killed by terrorists on American soil and our government isn’t standing by our side to help us go after the people that caused it,” Strada told CNN’s Carol Costello on Thursday.
“So I live in a tortured environment, and I don’t think pouring water up their nose or making them walk around naked…it doesn’t matter to me.”
Strada, who has actively supported the Justice Against Supporters of Terrorism Act, said she was frustrated that the Senate has refused to declassify a report containing information leading up to the 9/11 attacks—information Strada says would help give closure for her and her fatherless children.
“Who funded 9/11? Who was behind 9/11? Why am I living without a husband? Why are my children living without a father? We don’t address that. We want to talk about what techniques we’ve used,” Strada said.

I would cut out the heart of KSM and shove it down his throat if it saved your child or any child. Does that answer your question?
As I indicated previously, I like Dick Cheney, a lot. Saw him speak at a Republican lunch. But I don’t agree with him on this. In the realm of relativity, yeah, sure, you would “take” waterboarding over having your fingers ripped off with pliers, knees drilled, chunks of flesh cut off or being burned, but the line is drawn before you inflict physical touch to get information.
I used to teach Geneva-Hague conventions to huge groups of soldiers as part of a legal requirement—the reality being that if soldiers are aware of their rights they will be more able to assert them. While Geneva-Hague doesn’t protect non-combatants, it sets a baseline Americans operate from.
If they are non-combatants and not entitled to protections, I am less concerned about them and more concerned about the effect torture has on the torturer and what it indicates about Americans.
Well that is a big if as they say. And it would obviously destroy you.
Speaking of stains, there’s Diane Feinstain.
Drones kill more innocents than bad guys. You prefer this to dunking a known bad guy a few times? And you claim some kind of moral high ground? Only liberals are usually that disordered.
So what?
