I’m not sure if I would waterboard. But, I would nail their foot to a tree while I decided.
I don’t remember where I read the article. I think it was the NY Times.
you can search here:

AGAIN....AND AGAIN.....AND AGAIN.......AND AGAIN......
I miss waterboarding.
Oh, the New York Times...........
I miss you Mr President. You pi$$ed me off plenty... but obama makes me long for your leadership.
LLS
Heh, heh, heh. How’s dropping this little nugget into the national discussion just before campaign season ramps up for strategery? This could become one of the questions du jour in congressional campaigns later this year, and its effects on dem doves could be nucular. I see your terror war versus law enforcement bet, and raise you one waterboarding.
Today in Fallujah, Iraq four American civilians were killed when their vehicle was attacked by small arms fire. The charred corpses were pulled from the wreckage, dragged through the streets and hung from a bridge. Hell yes, Waterboard them!
It is not that G.W. Bush actually planned this. He just answered a question which was probably spontaneous.
Actually, if it was me, terrorists would be shot on capture with bullets dipped in pigs blood and then their bodies buried with a pig.....but yeah, I am in a bad mood today, so bugger off.
Where did you get this information or experience?
I guess the news outlet didn’t have the room to put “Khalid Sheik Mohammed” in the headline instead of “terrorist”.
We got good information that thwarted several terrorist attacks including the Heathrow attack.
Yet now Khalid Sheik Mohammed will get to take his case to American courts and challenge his prosecution/persecution. Why do you think that Bill Ayers is admittedly “guilty as sin, yet free as a bird”?
Those were Haliburton employees. To the rabid radical leftist professors, they deserved what they got for serving a fascist corporation.
There is no anger from the Left over the “freedom fighter” Islamonazis war crime attrocities.
I would Jack Bauer their asses!

These torture guidelines were contained in a ream of internal government documents made public over the past year, including a legal review of Bush-era CIA interrogations by the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility released late last month.
Though public, the hundreds of pages of documents authorizing or later reviewing the agency’s “enhanced interrogation program” haven’t been mined for waterboarding details until now. While Bush-Cheney officials defended the legality and safety of waterboarding by noting the practice has been used to train U.S. service members to resist torture, the documents show that the agency’s methods went far beyond anything ever done to a soldier during training. U.S. soldiers, for example, were generally waterboarded with a cloth over their face one time, never more than twice, for about 20 seconds, the CIA admits in its own documents.
These memos show the CIA went much further than that with terror suspects, using huge and dangerous quantities of liquid over long periods of time. The CIA’s waterboarding was “different” from training for elite soldiers, according to the Justice Department document released last month. “The difference was in the manner in which the detainee’s breathing was obstructed,” the document notes. In soldier training, “The interrogator applies a small amount of water to the cloth (on a soldier’s face) in a controlled manner,” DOJ wrote. “By contrast, the agency interrogator … continuously applied large volumes of water to a cloth that covered the detainee’s mouth and nose.”
One of the more interesting revelations in the documents is the use of a saline solution in waterboarding. Why? Because the CIA forced such massive quantities of water into the mouths and noses of detainees, prisoners inevitably swallowed huge amounts of liquid – enough to conceivably kill them from hyponatremia, a rare but deadly condition in which ingesting enormous quantities of water results in a dangerously low concentration of sodium in the blood. Generally a concern only for marathon runners , who on extremely rare occasions drink that much water, hyponatremia could set in during a prolonged waterboarding session. A waterlogged, sodium-deprived prisoner might become confused and lethargic, slip into convulsions, enter a coma and die.
Therefore, “based on advice of medical personnel,” Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Steven Bradbury wrote in a May 10, 2005, memo authorizing continued use of waterboarding, “the CIA requires that saline solution be used instead of plain water to reduce the possibility of hyponatremia.”
The agency used so much water there was also another risk: pneumonia resulting from detainees inhaling the fluid forced into their mouths and noses. Saline, the CIA argued, might reduce the risk of pneumonia when this occurred. “The detainee might aspirate some of the water, and the resulting water in the lungs might lead to pneumonia,” Bradbury noted in the same memo. “To mitigate this risk, a potable saline solution is used in the procedure.”

Thanks for that info and link. It only says they “might” vomit and took precautions for such. It never says they did vomit.
Nope - "beer" is for racist cops. For terrorists he'd have champagne... and a bow or two.
0bama would bow to him and offer to bomb Israel for him as a gesture of friendship...Then he'd say, “Oh and by the way, send as many illegal terrorists over the Mexican border as you like. I've given strict orders for the 1200 guards not to do anything”
Then he'd make the Hollywood “call me” sign with his hand by his ear.
1.20.2013 Waterboarding returns to the Olympics!
Does this mean you disagree with waterboarding KSM?
