..."abduction [of the] family [of] hero captive Faisal Shehzad accused of trying to blow up New York.."

[Navy Patriot]

The actress, Katee Sackhoff, has created an excellent portrayal of a very bad gal.

I thought that looked awfully authentic. Couldn’t figure out how they did it. Guess “by actually doing it!”

Wow. Guess it’s not quite the “torture to end all tortures” the LSM made it out to be.

Also, just shows how wimpy jihadists are compared to one fine looking American actress with no particular training!

Ummm..., I wouldn’t rely on that “translation software” for anything that makes sense ... LOL ...

[DJ MacWoW]

Well I thought it was obvious that they knew because of all the silly replies. It looked like freepers having fun to me.

Have a good day.

I like science. I like peer reviewed journals...

Why Most Published Research Findings Are False

...and the recommendations of national scientific agencies like the USGS, CDC, and FDA...

"The (Capture) Theory of Economic Regulation," George Stigler, Bell Journal of Economics, 2, 1971:3-21 is summarized by the following points:

1. Government has "legal" coercive power and thus has monopoly control of the "supply" of regulation.
2. Government regulation can protect incumbent firms from rivalrous price wars and prevent entry into lucrative markets.
3. Since the regulated firm oftentimes has a more comfortable and profitable existence than the non-regulated firm, private companies "compete" for a scarce supply of regulation.
4. Though a regulatory agency such as the ICC or the FCC may have been created with the (vague) intention of correcting market failures, as time goes by the agency is subject to "capture" by the firms they regulate. That is, the regulatory agency invariably tends to issue regulations that work to the advantage of regulated firms.
5. Regulated firms expend considerable resources to lobby the regulators. It is not uncommon for an official of a regulatory agency to wind up in a high-paying job with a firm that previously fell under their regulatory purview. The regulators may not want to antagonize the firms they regulate because they want to "keep their options open."
6. Capture theory predicts that regulated firms will earn higher rates on return (on average) than non-regulated firms.

...They're not perfect, but they beat non-scholarly non-official sources 99 and 44/100 times out of 100.

Polliwog proceeding? The hog is now singing. And the periwinkle is stuned. I repeat, the periwinkle is STUNED!

PS Ya know what happens when you try to teach a hog to sign?

Right...what a whole bunch of hogwash...

I understand that the circumstances are different — Ms. Sackhoff returned to her hotel suite, terrorists are thrown back in their cell; she consented, they didn’t; she’s rested, they’re not. She knows they’ll stop ... terrorists don’t. And, they’ll push terrorists harder than they’ll push an actress ...

Katee Sackhoff also didn’t actually try to kill anyone or blow anything up ... and she doesn’t actually have any information worth waterboarding for. So ... they earned the additional burden.

Waterboarding is supposed to suck — that’s the point. That’s what makes it a good interrogation technique. If it was comfortable and rosy ... it wouldn’t be worth doing.

Nonetheless, there are no lasting injuries from waterboarding. It is uncomfortable and horrifying — but not permanent. The fact that an actress can endure it for a couple of days, even with the additional safeguards, makes me somewhat less sympathetic to trained terrorists and enemy combatants.

[camerongood210]

Why Black Water? Isn’t this something the Feds would do?

[Lower55]

“Since you asked,’

And your point?.....LOL Who cares how uncomfortable they are? Seriously, who cares?

[SnakeDoctor]

I actually ended up liking her storyline. It started shaky (the redneck boyfriend thing was weird) ... but she ended up being a worthwhile and memorable villain.

Sackhoff described her character as having no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

[MestaMachine]

Yeah. It’s propaganda. The Afiya thing must be running out of steam.

[Robe]

Gee ,,,I guess it was a long day .. I read the title as "abduction [of the] family [of] hero captive Faisal Shehzad by a BLACK WAITER
