If your daughter, mother, father, grandparent or son or other beloved relative was being held captive and you and the police had the kidnapper. You had half an hour to obtain the information of where your beloved was held or the beloved relative would be dead...

Would you want and/or allow the kidnapper to be waterboarded?

Oh--if you have the terrorist with knowledge about a dirty bomb set to go off within the hour in a major city....

Would you want the terrorist waterboarded to get the information to save lives?

Like to hear the answers...

God please go water board yourself.

the "what if" scenarios could go on all day..

"I read that entirely the opposite - that waterboarding is the foundation or minimum of the description for torture, not it's "highest form". I still cannot understand how you parse that so differently."

ditto

Hitchens said "if waterboarding does not constitute torture, then there is no such thing as torture." This implies that he has experienced the most painful and depraved infliction of suffering possible in the universe, and if that particular infliction of pain is not "torture," then torture doesn't even exist.

No where in the statement does it imply that he has experienced the "worst" form. Fuck.. the inability for individuals here to be able to decipher a simple statement is beyond comprehension. No wonder a majority of American kids are total fucking retards.

The basics people!

I wonder how many people will be comming to the Chairborne School of Fingernail Pulling?

I would almost guarantee that someone would volunteer even knowing it is torture..and would probably pay to have it done.

p.s. - what kind of american are you, btw?

better one than you Sir..

"Justice" without a trial-is nothing more than murder.

Amen. It's amazing that people who don't trust the government in so many areas think it never makes mistakes when it comes to catching and jailing the perpetrators of crimes.

no doubt.. These are the guys talking rule of law but only when convenient and in their favor. Vigilante justice doesn't serve a functioning Republic.

why the fuck is this news? WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT ISRAEL!

You don't do yourself any favors posting stuff like this. Those tattooed pierced nitwits in sloppy clothing are my audience and my friends, and by taking an uninformed cheap shot at a subculture you will never belong to just informs everyone know how truly out of touch and frightened you are with the world around you.

what for Americans? We still have a shitload of weapons and if it gets too bad we will come take your shit food and all.. so wishing bad on the US of A is a drowning man scenario.

Looks like another hit today as the EU countries will start raising rates to curtail inflation..welcome to the new depression..

I can believe that. Quick, cowards way out. Some of those people may be mental and I wonder how many are saved by counseling. But if you roll those up into total stats, it makes it look like the U.S. is the wild, wild west.

Shooting yourself in the head is being a coward? Alright pussy I dare you to shoot yourself.. The whole retort MIGHT chip in a dollar if you do it. In fact I double dog dare ya.

Reagan's supposed debt was fixed during the 90s before I ever had a job... this debt will get fixed too... Everything will be fine, it will all work out... then some other president will come along and the debt will go up again, then another president will come along and it will go down...

I'm sorry I just don't buy into this, "mortaging our children's futures" nonsense... its just another fear tactic, like what GOPers use with Terrorism.

To the non economist in the room.. the debt will be paid for at fraction of the spent value due to the devalued currency. Not every day you get buy something at .25 on the dollar.

Watch the crowd go after this statement as an implicit approval of the some of the shitiest policy in 100 years.

These same people were sucking bills cock 2 years ago when there was nothing better.. the dems are fair weather friends which is why most people fucking despise them in political and social circles.

Have fun devouring your friends and family..then please die alone in misery.

I have found the osama crowd as arrogant, disrespectful and petty as the bushits..

may all of you rot in peace

Moder8, your statement defies reality. Are my eyes deceiving me, or does this video include Obama??? www.youtube.com

And he's clearly perpetuating a lie. The evidence is conclusive. Obama = politics as usual and he individually participates in smear tactics. Then he complains about smears, yet few of his supporters realize he's a smearer himself!

You are not going to convince any of these obama fuckers.If he wins..the only wake up call will be when the pied piper starts urinating all over them through policy. If he wins... the disillusioned look on the people that voted for him in November should be a site to behold.

That's when these people will get the collective bitch slap..You can join the GW Bush crowd for gullibility.

I hate to break it to you, but Bush won both of his elections.

and what a lovely fucking 8 years it has been.. NOT

So...Government does nothing and takes no risk and takes a higher percentage (by 4X ) than the guy that runs the local gas station.

you mean like build roads or bridges or other modes so you can DRIVE your POS car?
