This is what you get when a cowardly, clueless adminstration spends its time fighting Islamonazis in foreign hellholes-—and ignores the REAL enemy here in Congress and the Press.

Isn’t it interesting to compare attitudes from the 60’s in which a popular, fictional spy (James Bond) had a “license to kill” with that of today where “water-boarding” is too harsh?

As an item of interest, James Bond’s fictional “license to kill” had its genesis in real, historical events. Generally, one has to go back to the post WWII era to find “public” documentation of such on the part of the Western allies against Nazi war criminals feared to be able to escape formal punishment. However, assassinations by the Eastern Block “intelligence operatives” were widespread, public knowledge. Beyond such, there was open public support for a “tit-for-tat” by the West.

In contrast with past support of covertly “blowing some national enemy away,” today, there is outrage (in the media and Democrat circles, at least) over simply making a “bad guy” think he is gong get the “dirt nap.” Go figure…

Torture defenders have corrupted the Republican party. I've said my piece here.
