When McCain and others say that if we waterboard we are putting our troops in jeopardy if captured, because the enemy will torture them. This is about the dumbest argument for not waterboarding and brings into question the intelligence of those that suggest this argument.

Causing physical and mental discomfort used humanely with the objective being the extraction of sensitive information is exactly what we should be doing.

I’ve all ways thought that was a stupid statement...from a man who was tortured by a country who had signed the geneva (sp) convention!!!!! Good grief, i don’t think the terrorist are concerned by human rights!!!

At what point did liberals decide that interrogation is and should be a fun and happy process? Even in civilian criminal investigations, being threatened with criminal prosecution and long-term incarceration causes several psychological distress.
