Thistlethwank and the rest of the scumbag liberals and their allies in the dying, socialist “mainstream” newsrooms are still trying to redefine “torture”?
/headshaking chuckle
Waterboarding is “torture” the same way fingernails on a blackboard is “torture”, or the relentless din of blaring heavy-metal music aimed at an enemy holed up in a compound is “torture”.
No, “torture” is having your fingers lopped off one at a time with a pair of wire cutters. “Torture” is having bleach poured into your forced-open eyes. “Torture” is having your kneecaps shot. “Torture” is having parts of your body blow-torched to black cinder two square inches at a time and then ripped off with pliers. “Torture” is having a pair of tree-branch loppers applied to the genitals.
There are countless ways to inflict real torture, and part of the torture is the realization by the victim that his body will be forever damaged, forever missing pieces. Forever. Now THAT’s torture.
Being dowsed with water in the morning and then still being able to play shortstop for the terrorist softball team in the afternoon is NOT torture.
Bingo.
In the real world that is is torture. In the bubble world of the mass media torture is throwing a murderous Jihadist in a cell with A/C set to maximum cold. Water boarding is not real torture because no extremities are chopped off nor teeth knocked.
