I’m getting tired of this ‘waterboarding is torture’ routine. We strap criminals into electric chairs or onto tables for lethal injections. We tell these individuals what we’re going to do to them, and they usually have a decade or two to think about it before they’re intentionally killed. If we can do that, then pouring water into the noses of three people we have no intention of killing shouldn’t elicit anything more than a yawn. Before 9/11, the liberal definition of torture had more to do with getting lousy seats for Phantom of the Opera. It’s infuriating that the prissies in this country have controlled this conversation for 7 years. Pray that Cheney’s ticker holds up for a few more years. We desperately need him to continue his dialogue. Sorry for the rant. Not enough sleep.
From one side of the liberal’s mouth comes outrage of waterboarding and from the other side comes defense of jamming a knife into the head of a partially born baby. Their intellect is darkened.
