I will concede that maybe, just maybe, we should look at techniques like "waterboarding" and consider if they are necessary tools when interrogating terrorists who may hold the key to sparing the lives of dozens...hundreds...thousands...hundreds of thousands...of innocent citizens. Personally, drowning SIMULATIONS do not rise to the level of torture any more than forcing a kid who really sucks at bobbing for apples to play anyway in order to "fit in." I think I've probably been guilty of "waterboarding" my younger brother at the beach a couple of times along with "simulating" quite a few wedgies and spiking his shampoo with some chili oil...OK, ACLU, here I am, cuff me.
Anyway, the ACLU is at it again: ACLU Calls on Gates to Investigate Sensory Deprivation Techniques Used Against Prisoners in U.S. Custody
As Robert Gates was sworn in today, the American Civil Liberties Union called on the new Secretary of Defense to launch an investigation into cruel and inhuman methods (Glib Note: You have got to be sh***ing me) used on prisoners in U.S. custody. Among the methods being denounced by the ACLU are sensory deprivation techniques recently shown to be used on Jose Padilla, including blacked-out goggles and headphones that block sound.
Now they can't even be frikkin' BLINDFOLDED? I guess everyone who's ever been to the Bat Cave should join the suit...I'm sure there would be no standing issue as Batman, with his direct line to Commissioner Gordon, could certainly be considered a government-supported operative. B.A. Baracus was forcibly tranquilized every time the team needed to fly...ACLU?

PING!
I wonder if the American Communist Lawyers Union will call for an investigation of the "cruel and unusual" punishment that 3000 Americans suffered on 9/11 ?????
Commie bastards.
I was hoping we'd make ladies' underpants required headgear for muslim terrorist prisoners. Make it official policy so that, first, they'd rather be killed than captured, and, second, if they were captured, they'd commit suicide due to the shame. Wars are only won by mocking the enemy, demeaning the enemy in whatever way possible.
Jay- A Fox news dude underwent the dreaded waterboarding, and he survived it just fine and it was NOT concidered torture- not anywhere close- while unpleasant, he endured it just fine- but the rest of your article is spot on & it's high time a counter-group was set up to challenge all these rediculous lawsuits filed by the ACLU & countersuits launched to financially bankrupt them! http://sacredscoop.com
They should be prosecuted accordingly.
We can introduce them to the finer points of Japanese sepuku (sp?).
Nah. Conan said it best: "To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women."
That's how you win wars.
I didn't mean to say that mocking was all it takes, but it is one of the necessary ingredients.
We need to undermine the ACLU in every possible way. And stop giving so much weight to what they say or want. Eventually they'll just be ignored.
Only muzzie women's undies (if they wear 'em ... ) ... any American lady smells waaayyyy too sweet for those camel stuffin' bastards.
The truth about that so-called torture at AbuGraib?
The stinkin' sumbitch cried because they took 'em off after having a whiff of real woman ... not because they were put on his head,
You want torture? I propose that we round up all ACLUers and their supporters, strap them to comfy chairs and endless loop Celine Dion's "The Power of Love" at 105 decibels.
Now THAT's torture.
