I just call it the Cheney Option because it recalls a time when we treated terrorists as unlawful combatants rather than defendants. Apparently, a healthy majority of Americans agree with that approach. Rasmussen surveyed likely voters about how they would like to see Umar Abdulmutallab interrogated, and 58% said bring on the drips:
Fifty-eight percent (58%) of U.S. voters say waterboarding and other aggressive interrogation techniques should be used to gain information from the terrorist who attempted to bomb an airliner on Christmas Day.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 30% oppose the use of such techniques, and another 12% are not sure.

You can split the unsure and make it 64/36
All those running in 2010 should be using this as one of the main issues of their campaigns. Spineless weasels who give more consideration to the enemy than to Americans make people very angry.
eunuchbomber?
I’m stealing that one...
With apologies to Lindsay Lohan, I prefer “Firecrotch”.
30% are so brain-washed that they’re now suicidal. WOW!! That’s one heck of a cult following on the left to be turned into such mindless drones.
I hope Lt. Colonel Allen West uses this in his Florida Congressional bid. He is totally awesome!
Yes, it seems that the Obama administration learned nothing from the mistake Bush made by prosecuting Richard Reid in a civilian court.
I would really like to see Dick Cheney appointed head of the DHS. He’d be terrific! When Napolitano goes, Obama should be bipartisan and appoint Cheney. That’s a win-win for everybody.
2012 candidate should run on executing all terrorists at Gitmo on his first day in office.
Waterboarding is the only way.
Islamofascist practice LYING.
Maybe when the CIA and the MILITARY face that REALITY they will get somewhere.
NO non-muslim can believe anything a muslim says to them PERIOD.
I don’t think they care about that. How could they? They already have the blood of tens of millions of the unborn on their hands. There are also the tens of millions that they allowed to be killed by communists and other despots they enabled during the last century. What’s a few hundred more in the grand scheme of things?
That’s something I would dream about.
I appreciate Dick Cheney’s voice for the loyal opposition. I find it hard not to get too personal with the Obama Administration and devolve into one of ‘them’.
Tony Blankley said this administration has told our military in Afghanistan not to use the phrase, "victory over the Taliban."Taliban just took credit for killing seven CIA there and injuring six more.
Obama's first choice for DCI was Brennan whose contractor went into Obama's passport file, who gave O $2000 January 28, 2000; who advises O using this whole not-a-war delusion.
Gooks in the wire including the Oval Office. Lovely war.
Water-boarding should be reserved, along with post-castration guillotines, for government officials...both elected and unelected...
Well shoot, we don't want to do anything to aggravate them now, do we? Snort!
