Some private contractors would probably sell training for it to anyone.

All Bush’s fault. If only they would have stuck to video’d beheadings, everything would have been kosher vyosher. But nooooooo! The West set a bad example. Bad West. Bad. Bad./s

The big difference is that the terrorists waterboarded and beheaded innocent people.

Obama has no problem with Muslims waterboarding people.

Waterboarding dates to the Spanish Inquisition and has been a favorite of dictators through the ages, including Pol Pot and the regime in Burma,” Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.) said in an op-ed in 2008. “Condoning torture opens the door for our enemies to do the same to captured American troops in the future.”

And if America doesn't do it, the rest of the barbarians will respect that...uh-huh.

Where do we come up with these doofus elected officials?? To be "fair and balanced" IIRC, John McCain also publically denounces the use of waterboarding.

> President Obama has condemned waterboarding as torture.

And of course, the CIA will be blamed as having trained ISIS, and — oh wait! Some a-holes have already done that, repeatedly.

It’s strange to have the press critical of our enemies. Usually those are the people they side with...

It’s been done for thousands of years. The CIA just did it safely.
