No way it's torture

once for two hours and once for seven hours, depriving the inmate of his shirt, exposing him to the sun, denying his requests for hydration, and refusing to allow him the opportunity to use the bathroom.

A few differences - seven hours in the sun, without water or a shirt on, could potentially be fatal (heat stroke and sun poisoning). Waterboarding, especially under the extremely controlled conditions in which we practiced it, isn't torture.

Torture leaves long-lasting, if not permanent, scars. Individuals who've been waterboarded show NO ill effects within minutes, if not seconds.

Less damaging than my mother in law's cooking?

A terrorist can be waterboarded in the morning and start at shortstop in the afternoon for the terrorist intramural softball team. That's not torture. The scumbag liberals have never served their nation in the military and simply haven't the slightest clue. Here are descriptions of real torture:

That's not torture. The scumbag liberals have never served their nation in the military and simply haven't the slightest clue.

Torture is not the Right Argument; Geneva Convention Rights are the Right Argument.

Those who where a uniform, identify with a country with Identity tags are covered under the Geneva Convention. And thus they are Exempted by the Geneva Convention from specified forms of Torture.

This reduced the Use of Torture in modern times.

The Convention was extended to those Without Uniforms, Without Country Identification and without Identity tags, by the Liberal with foolish minds.

Professing themselves to be wise, THEY PROTECT TERRORISTS WHO VIOLATE THE GENEVA CONVENTION BY NOT FOLLOWING IT.

The Argument should be about what the Geneva Convention was for and how it SUPPRESSED TERRORISM by Exposing those outside the convention TO TORTURE. DOH!

Some years back I read some on the atrocities committed by Mujahideen and Taliban, they make torture a science. Our troops have been subjected to the same type torture before being murdered by Muslim scum in these wars, the RATS make me sick when they speak of EIT’s being torture.

If these clowns can lay down in the street and put on a demonstation of it, and get up and walk away feeling all nice and self-righteous about it; it aint torture.
