Water bording for terrorisist and saveing lives?

Question

To get info on on other attacks and where other terrorist are is ok they don't deserve sympathy form us and also to save lives if he has info and can be broken to give it to us.

To do it on innocent people I don't like and I think that is what terrorist are doing to are troops out there and to innocent Iraqis is wrong.

are you for it for terrorist because they are trying to kill us the people who did 9/11 spoke with three minutes or even more?

Info to save lives and you family lives is always good and to get it by just talking with them and getting them a lawyer never works that is what they want.

Answer 1

Liberals would tell everything just by tickling their feet!!! Terrorists are not human and they don't deserve any sympathy!!!!!

Answer 2

Waterboarding is a terrorist act, no matter who is doing it. I would maybe expect it from terrorists. but certainly not from a government agent. The Geneva Convention Laws prohibit this action by any government which signed this treaty. The U.S. did sign this document. I was in the military during Vietnam, and it was drilled into us every day. If captured by the enemy, we are only required to give name, rank and serial number. As are enemy combatants captured by our forces. To violate this treaty, is to go against the law of the weorld as well as the U.S. government. It is illegal, and any person doing this is breaking U.S. law. There is no way around this. If our government is found to be doing this, a War Crimes Tribunal will find them guilty of War Crimes. Germans from WWII were prosecuted for just being a guard. How can you condone this? It is illegal and proven to have dubious results. Unless of course you support our government can break laws whenever it wants, which would be a Fascist crime. John McCain, a war prisoner, who's suffered torture at the hands of our enemies, Says it is definately Torture, and should not be used. Hello, He is Republican, been there, wants it stopped. But not you? Shameful.

Answer 3

In the United States, we believe anyone not convicted of a crime by a court is "innocent". So waterboarding a "terrorist" who has not been convicted is immoral in your mind. You do know you just stated one of the obvious problems with waterboarding. And, once convicted, these people have the right not to be tortured.

But, to the basic point, TORTURE IS ALWAYS WRONG. And, by doing this we just open the gate for future generations of millions of US troops to be tortured by foreign governments under the guise of "fighting terrorism" in their homeland. By supporting waterboarding, you are saying John McCain deserved everything that happened to him in that concentration camp.

When you salute the US flag and the POW/MIA flag, you are saluting the men and women still missing, and possibly being held capitve in foreign lands and hoping they are not being WATERBOARDED, sleep depreived, starved, electrically shocked, burned, whipped or psychologically abused.

"Never Forgotten" and " til they all come home"

Answer 4

Water boarding is designed to scare someone. Scaring someone that he may drown is not very pleasant but we are not playing a polite parlor game here.

The is reality. It slapped us in the chops on 9/11. Have some forgotten? America is not some S&M palace. Those charged with protecting us must get it right every single time. I find it below contempt for people to politize this issue.

I have a lot less problem justifying it than Janet Reno burining 86 American men, women and children to death in Waco, deliberately shooting an unarmed, pregnant woman to death while she held a child in her arms, or the Immigration SWAT team assaulting a quiet residential Miami neighborhood to kidnap and deport Elian Gonzalez.

Answer 5

If we use torture, including waterboarding, on foreign terrorist suspects, there is nothing to prevent its use on domestic terrorist suspects. The justification remains the same.

The potential Timothy McVeighs whom the government identifies, on whatever basis they see fit, can be subjected to these “enhanced interrogation techniques” and we will be no better than the ruthless dictatorships whose practices we claim to abhor.

Answer 6

To get info, but is any of it credible? If you are being "interrogated" and you cannot breathe or are put in an uncomfortable positions for hours on end (usually more than 24 at a time)wouldn't you say ANYTHING to get them to stop?
And as you say "innocent people" our government has released thousands of "interrogated" innocent people who have experienced water boarding. Terrorists are probably torturing our soldiers and other innocent people also. But are we to stoop to their level and water board the innocent with guilty?

Answer 7

with all do respect, you are a naive man! that is the way Fascism slowly but surely took over in IE, Nazi Germany. it doesn't just stop there. they keep expanding! don't waste your time on YA. GO BACK TO SCHOOL. TAKE SOME HISTORY COURSES MAN! PEACE

Answer 8

I agree with John McCain. Water boarding is torture, and I don't want anyone tortured in my countries name. As a signatory to the Geneva Convention, we don't torture so our service members aren't tortured. Also, information obtained through torture isn't reliable.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Okay cool.

You agree with enhanced interrogation techniques.

What's your question?

Answer 11

If water boarding will save innocent lives, then it is OK to use on those who want to kill us. To hell with the bleeding heart liberals who say it is "mean spirited"
