The Get-Cheney Squad

"...starting with former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Richard Cheney who led America down the degraded path of state-sponsored torture."

"State-sponsored torture".

To my mind, torture is a means of inflicting extreme pain and either permanently maims or kills the subject. And such treatment would never be inflicted on one's own military.

Waterboarding, et al is none of these. Scary and uncomfortable? Damn straight. But not painful, nor permanently maiming, nor even life-threatening.

And our own troops were waterboarded to familiarize them with the technique.

Liberals can't think straight.
