Landis & TDog, it is my understanding that neither of you would waterboard a captured terrorist, even a high-ranking captured terrorist, in order to try and gather information that may save the lives of your fellow countrymen. Is this true - yes or no?
I guess you are unaware of how many votes are needed in the House in order to over-ride ONE MAN'S VETO. By the way, how many shares did you trade today Captain?
I agree with Republican's Ron Paul and John McCain when it comes to the opposition of waterboarding. There are CLEARLY other interrogation methods that can be used in an effective manner in obtaining critical information that can save the lives of Americans. You act as if waterboarding is the ONLY interrogation method available. You couldn't be more wrong. It clearly is not the only option. By the way, could you please post a "screenshot" of your trading today so that we can see how many shares you traded? Thanks!
Cutting through all your diversionary bullshit, it appears that the answer is NO, you would NOT waterboard a captured terrorist, even a high-ranking terrorist such as KSM who planned and executed 9/11, in order to gather information that might save other Americans from a fate similar to 9/11. That's just great.....SO, what are these "other interrogation methods" that you would be willing to do to someone like KSM? Tickle his feet? Make him read your posts? What? What is a "screenshot"? What is a "trade"? What is a "share"?
The issue at hand is that we have fairly established that waterboarding is indeed torture, and has been demonstrably regarded as such by the US in the past. Former President George W. Bush proclaimed to America and the world in no uncertain terms that America does not torture. This was a bald faced lie by former President Bush. That is the point. What I or anyone else would do is quite beside the point.
You articulate your visuals with remarkable clarity. One can only imagine the amount of time you must spend on them.
Rupert's Post knows jackshit. It's torture. It's a war crime. It can't be done to anyone, terrorists included.
