HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) A leading Republican voice on national security matters said Saturday he doesnt care what President-elect Donald Trump says, the United States will not reinstate waterboarding.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said at the Halifax International Security Forum that any attempt to bring back harsh interrogation techniques such as waterboarding, which simulates drowning, would quickly be challenged in court.
I dont give a damn what the president of the United States wants to do or anybody else wants to do. We will not waterboard. We will not do it, McCain said to applause during a panel discussion.

McCain doesn’t even know the rules. These scum will be waterboarded by our hosts in the countries in which they are found.

I don’t care that much about water boarding... though of course it’s not torture.
I just want strong restrictions on the importation of muzzies.

Thanks again, Arizona
Hey, we were fighting the good fight against McAmnesty with Dr. Kelli Ward. Suddenly Donald Trump put a coffin lid on her campaign and hammered it down by endorsing John McCain.
The only reason people voted for him was because the DNC/Commie opponent was so bad. And some conservatives even voted that because they hated McCain so much!

Was McCain ever waterboarded?
There is still time.

Water board McCain to find out what really happened while he was in the prison camps. If he survives, then it is safe. If not, then don’t use water boarding for people over 80.

Waterboarding is the most humane way to torture a man.
Take away the 30 second cadence and no man can resist.

I doubt that Mr. Trump will want much to do with Senator Open Borders (R-Mexico).

Feed people bowel-cleansing material and leave their food immediately underneath their slotted chair. Don’t let them eat until the plate is completely saturated.
I could come up with this stuff all day long.

McCain must have a lot of campaign debt from his latest victory. Let's send him some money!
Combined PING! and DANG!

” though of course its not torture.”
You make that claim having never been on the waterboard. Of course it’s torture. Just read the definition in US law.
