During a presidential primary debate in 2007, I and the other seven candidates on the stage were asked about waterboarding. The question was: As president, would I agree to waterboard a captured terrorist if three bombs had gone off in this country and we were awaiting the “big one” and we had a captive who we believed knew when and where it would happen? I replied, not only would I waterboard the guy, but I’d be looking for Jack Bauer, the superhero character from the television series “24.” That was my answer after all other candidates said no because John McCain said no.
Well, they are at it again. John McCain has joined Senate Democrats in condemning waterboarding as “un-American.” In fact, they did much more than that.

He’s right, but no one will care.
Jack Bauer is a poosy.
I’d go Medieval at a minimum or Fargo, 1/2 inch at a time, with cigarette breaks.
He could now be governor of Colorado, but NO, the GOPe had to have their guy run and lose.
But...but...Comrade Gruber’s testimony had to be kept out of the media! Surely you remember what Stalin said about omelets and breaking eggs?
Some day in the future, Obama will be remembered as America’s
Akhenaton. Hope I live long enough to see his damn name expunged from the records.
Medieval is so quaint and has a certain amount of charm and exquisite prolonged pain.
OTOH...Fargo WITH cigarette breaks??? LOL Gotta love it.
Obviously, those Dems think any treatment of captured terrorists er prisoners that is in any physical equals torture. So we’re back to the Big Question: if we know that a certain terrorist possesses knowledge that could result in the deaths of thousands of innocent people, we should not rough him up i.e. “torture” him to try and get the info out of him? Balderdash...apply the screws.
I would like to ask Lt Cmdr. McCain, (NOT Politician McCain) if he would be willing to trade his Hanoi torture for the torture described in the report recently released by the Senate Democrats?
Or, perhaps he would equate the two? What would his fellow residents of the Hanoi Hilton say?
