Mancow Muller, conservative talk show host, gets waterboarded, but remember it isn't torture, it's "enhanced interrogation".
Kind of like how twisting pro-lifers' arms isn't torture, it's "pain compliance".
I quote from the above PDF link, Page 6, "I noted [argued] that the La Mesa police had used pain compliance techniques severe enough that it caused some of the rescuers (rescuer = anti abortion protestor) to pass out."
If we're going to have a rational debate about torture, then all the people who think waterboarding is somehow not serious need to accept it for what it is. It IS torture. Now you can argue about whether torture yields success or can be morally justified in circumstances, though you won't find much agreement from me, but stop playing silly semantic games with terms like "enhanced interrogation". We know what you mean.
The National Security state is being turned against the people. It's not as if we weren't warned. Now, however, the terrorist is you. Another stupid piece of word manipulation, they don't need to take your rights directly anymore, they just need to reasonably suspect you of terrorism, for example if you have a terrorist Ron Paul sticker, there go your rights. Waterboard that man!
All you zombies who supported the torture, monitoring of communications, databases, etc. know this. You are the target of the schemes you supported. You are the terrrorist that the TV news made you afraid of. You are the next one to be waterboarded 180 times. Or, maybe me. Or someone else. But let me assure you, it isn't "just the brown people" any more.

ReplyDeleteMancow has betrayed his country with such unAmerican, anti-military rhetoric such as calling that torture; we need to help him get back on the right track with shock-therapy. Yes, we need to help him with Ritalin, too! ;)
ReplyDeleteSean Hannity said he's going to be waterboarded, but I haven't heard a peep out of him about it since then.
Mancow is a coward who won't do what is necessary to fight terrorism.
ReplyDeleteHannity said he was going to be waterboarded, but then he realised he would be giving away important secrets about anti-terror tactics on TV for every Al-Qaeda to see. So he did the patriotic thing and acted in the best interests of Nazional Security ;)
