Outside of the Fever Swamps of the left, Does anyone care if we poor water on some TERRORIST?

Question

Waterboarding is not torture. It is strictly a psychological technique and causes NO permanent physical damage.

America is an epic global battle with ruthless savages who seek our destruction, and liberals are feeling sorry for the terrorists!

Usually the nonsense liberals spout is kind of cute, but in wartime their instinctive idiocy is life-threatening!

Call me crazy, but if Ahmed knows where the Nuke Suitcase bomb is I want my government to get that information at ALL costs.

Answer 1

Some of the lost in America think the Terrorist deserve more respect than our own troops. It's our fault for letting the socialist dumb down our country when they took over the public education system.
Now that we don't teach history properly in our schools the left can try the same failed tactics, statagies and programs over and over again and no one will know the differance.
Hey , if hitting Yosef in the head with a hammer is going to save American lives, Pass the hammer!!!

Waterboarding is a torture technique that simulates drowning in a controlled environment. It consists of immobilizing an individual on his or her back, with the head inclined downward, and pouring water over the face[1] to force the inhalation of water into the lungs.[2] Waterboarding has been used to obtain information, coerce confessions, punish, and intimidate. In contrast to merely submerging the head, waterboarding elicits the gag reflex,[3] and can make the subject believe death is imminent. Waterboarding's use as a method of torture or means to support interrogation is based on its ability to cause extreme mental distress while possibly creating no lasting physical damage to the subject. The psychological effects on victims of waterboarding can last long after the procedure.[4] Although waterboarding in cases can leave no lasting physical damage, it carries the real risks of extreme pain, damage to the lungs, brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation, injuries as a result of struggling against restraints (including broken bones), and even death.[5]

Numerous experts have described this technique as torture.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Some nations have also criminally prosecuted individuals for performing waterboarding, including the United States.[13]

Fever swamps? That's pretty harsh! Have you ever read about the torture used during WWII? When our boys came home from the South Pacific, after the war, they told us about the torture methods used by the Japanese and we were shocked. There seemed to be a real technique and our troops picked up some of their methods. The same was true in the European theater of operations, but not quite as bad. I'm just not sure you'll get the truth by water boarding with people who are suicidal anyway...I just know that it's something I would not like to experience or witness. I'm a liberal, but I understand that decisions like this are best made by those who know what they're doing....not by people on Y/A.

Get help for your confabulation of hordes of "Nuke Suitcase bomb" carrying terrorists. Maybe they will let you try waterboarding as therapy, eh?

Answer 5

Applying an electric shock to a guys genitals is also largely psychological and causes no permanent harm. The problem with waterboarding is that it is considered by those in the developed "civilized" world to be torture...... the use of these types of tactics is that it harms the US in the eyes of the world...... We can hardly claim to have the moral high ground in this fight if we are going to stoop to immoral practices. The U.S. I grew up being proud of, the country that was leader of the free world, stayed above this type of thing.

I grew up during the Vietnam Era and recall the Vietnamese torturing our captured soldiers,,,, they were viewed with disgust by America and most of the world just as they look at us now.

Answer 6

The propaganda is working. Do you really believe that the information you get with such a technique is reliable? Along with morals and legality and that pesky Geneva convention, do you want to go to war based on information received because the person thought they were drowning-and would say anything to get them to stop?

I saw an attorney say that we should at least have someone responsible for it. Somebody needs to sign authorizing, saying this was necessary. This way, no one is responsible-and Republicans believe in responsibility, right?

Answer 7

There should be no rules when interrogating terrorists. I don't remember the scumbags that caused 911 having a rulebook nor do I consider it playing by the rules to send a suicide bomber into a shopping center. You are dealing with bloodthristy savages and everything goes when trying to eliminate them.

Answer 8

Yes, many do.
If you check with The US Military, you will see that waterboarding is indeed torture.
Maybe you do not care about The US military all that much.

Answer 9

Would you fix the POOR water thing already - you're torturing me.

And you're cute.

Answer 10

We should bring back the iron maidens and head presses.
