And I believe your position is sadly not only unreasonable and ridiculous, but despicable.

You would tie the hands of those in authority from being able to save innocent lives, potentially, many innocent lives, in order to save vile, vicious enemies of the United States, a few moments of extreme discomfort produced by waterboarding. How extraordinary.

[George W. Bush]

And I believe your position is sadly not only unreasonable and ridiculous, but despicable.

Nonsense. I merely oppose your enthusiasm for medieval tortures, long held to be ineffective against determined operatives and opposed by every human rights group.

Tell me, if al-Qaeda employed these methods against our captured soldiers in Iraq, which term would you use to describe their use of these methods:

1. Enhanced interrogation
2. "a few moments of extreme discomfort"
3. Torture
4. War crimes
5. Terrible crimes when used against our uniformed soliders but wonderful and enlightened tools of democracy when used against non-uniformed insurgents
