Waterboard Abdulmutallab!
Power Line ^ | December 31, 2009 | John Hinderaker

That's what voters say, according to today's (Rasmussen survey:)

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.

There's this, too:

Seventy-one percent (71%) of all voters think the attempt by the Nigerian Muslim to blow up the airliner as it landed in Detroit should be investigated by military authorities as a terrorist act. Only 22% say it should be handled by civilian authorities as a criminal act, as is currently the case.

My conclusion: the debate is over, and Dick Cheney won it.

Actually, Barry was reportedly born at one hospital, and then the wire services and some other websites scrubbed their information and revised with the name of another hospital (the one that now celebrates his birth there).

And no, I don't honestly think that Rush had ulterior motives for going to the hospital (and it isn't even the same one). Just some NYE levity.

Should we waterboard him before or after he gets his US taxpayer paid, state-of-the-art skin grafts?

I don’t think EIT were needed at all with this clown. He was singing like a canary until we lawyered him up. Just send him to Gitmo, or the Cook County or NYPD’s Detectives’ room.

It is too late now. No US judge will give him up to another system.
They could have had him in Gitmo in hours after landing in Deetroit.
Who is his lawyer..BTW?

You’re too kind — it should not have to take that long.

Waterboard, hell. Just pour rock salt on what’s left of his junk.

Do you really think that Obama and company will care, and do you really think that the lethargic American public will hold their feet to the fire?

How can you be so cruel to suggest violence to get to the truth? Let’s try kindness instead even if the result is more acts of terrorism.

This panty bomber wouldn’t care if his nuts were shot off. He might like it if they were removed and replaced with binary explosives installed by a jihadist plastic surgeon and detonated by a penile-implant installed by another of them. Thus the juvenile jihadist would have the best of all possible Islamic worlds. He could die from playing with himself on a plane full of Christians. On the other hand, his 72 virgins will be a bit disappointed with the scraggly remains of his manly organs and will rejoice for whatever hangnails they have been blessed with.

Now that it’s public knowledge, waterboarding can’t work anymore, because the person will know they’re not really in any danger.

My loyalty for the Zero is not in play, he must be playing for the Moron Vote.

Tonight on Fox, Krauthammer said the terrorist (when arrested) said he had information of 'more attacks'...

..but then he got lawyered up and refuses to talk.

Does Obama even CARE what happens to us??????

This guy has info, and they allow him to lawyer up?
