You’re barbaric, pandy. ~8^O
Sigh, I suppose so. But I would get them to talk. Barbaric fits me. I never claimed not to be , lmao!
I support waterboarding of hijackers of vehicles or threads.
Is waterboarding torture? NO
The real question everyone should be asking is.......
Is watching the liberal Mediascum doing collective ejaculations over the Obamessiah a form of torture?
There the answer must be a firm YES.
Ha! Yeah, right.
That’s fine...let’s just announce that they are unlawful combatants and that we’re not fighting in accordance with the Hague/Geneva Conventions... But the double-talk is a problem.
What matters is what degree of discomfort is acceptable when trying to extract information which can save the lives of victims of terrorism.
What amount of torture would have been acceptable to save the lives of 3,000 people in the twin towers? I would say as much as necessary, even if it results in death afterwards. A terrorists life is not worth preserving, even if only ONE American life is at risk in a terrorist attack.
I wonder how much torture would be acceptable if it was an anti torture persons family being held hostage and one of the terrorists involved were captured?
Absolutely that's torture!

I can't imagine how many wannabe muslim terrorists are sitting in Trenton state prison right now. Or all the other prisons. What bothers me is that we are not fighting normal people. How do you fight animals that will cut off your head? Or kill school girls? Use children to shield themselves? IMHO you can't fight fairly. They don't understand it. Or care if they die. They want to die & get those virgins. So why is there all this concern over water boarding? I don't want to be nice, I want to stay alive & be able to live the life I have. ( or hope my life stays a bit the same in the next 4 yrs)
NOOOOOOOOOO! AAAIIIEEEEEEEEE! STOP IT! I GIVE!
I am sure I am going to have nightmares tonight after seeing that. That picture ought to be in the face of every jailed terrorist. Here is one of those virgins you plan on getting. EWW!
Evidently removing Saddam Hussein from power was unjust.
His putting people alive in industrial shredders was A OK with his defenders.

I don’t care if waterboarding is torture.
If it would save American servicemens lives I’d torture my mother in law.
Yes, it’s a lesser form of torture, So what?
“Of course it’s not torture. FReepers would be perfectly fine with it if we were involved in a war with lawful combatants and American troops were subjected to it, I’m sure.”
As opposed to having one’s privates hooked up to electrical cables? Or having one’s fingernails pulled out? Or burning one’s hair off? Damn right it isn’t torture. But, is waterboarding scary? You bet. That’s why it is employed. If, for instance, the cops haul your ass in and draw you a mind picture of going to prison and becoming some 300-pound perv’s bitch is not illegal or considered torture (and it is not, because that and other dire depictions are used all the time), then waterboarding isn’t torture. You have to put this issue into persepective.
“But the double-talk is a problem.”
I agree. I always thought not treating them like the unlawful scum they are was a mistake.
Which would you pick, water boarding or mean wife? I’ll take water board, less painful. I volunteer my X to harass the terrorist to death!
