I was civil to you. Just stating the obvious. You have a distorted perception of waterboarding , and to most, perception is reality.
You will not accept any contrary argument, even from people experienced in it.
In response to my hypothetical scenario, you stated what if the accomplice was the wrong person, it frightens me. Yet I explained what waterboarding was, and its temporary effects. Residual effects of waterboarding are benign, yet your reasoning is skewed by your misperception.
At worst the “wrong person” would be pissed off,with no injuries or lingering psychological issues. How then could you justify not using the method if a loved ones life is on the line?
You know what real torture is? Being forced to listen to the song “muscrat love” over and over again while locked in your cell.
“You will not accept any contrary argument”
Not entirely true. My hesitation of considering any specific alternative is motivated by my lack of experience or knowledge of the various methods used. I understand-to a certain degree-by way of books, film, as well as documentaries, but this amounts to a cursory knowledge. I do not question your experience in this field.
“At worst the “wrong person” would be pissed off,with no injuries or lingering psychological issues.”
This statement is a lightbulb moment for me. It has clarified your point, and has enabled me to examine this from a different perspective. I appreciate your civility and patience that others were not so willing to grant.
In closing, I’d like to say that if my children become testy I threaten to play Muskrat Love. Straightens them out every time.
Thank You
