When a President says its OK to use torture, as long as it is ONLY used on our enemies, and ONLY to get “valuable” intelligence, it inevitably leads to the same tortures being used on regular criminals and eventually citizens.

In Afghanistan, they tortured a young man by cutting off his nose, ears, lips and tongue, gouged out one eye( and saved the other so that he might see their handiwork..) forced him to drink motor oil and bleach, whipped him with electrical cords, broke all his fingers and toes, dislocated his hip and tried to force melted lead into his rectum.To top it all off, they were about to immerse his feet in battery acid when coalition soldiers rescued and treated him

Why?

He taught girls to read and write and think critically.

His girls had acid thrown in their faces, blinding two of them, others had horrific burns. Thankfully, he is being brought to Canada for treatment that will include extensive plastic surgery and possibly citizenship as he is amongst the small group of interpreters that helped Canada, who are being brought here.

Never forget who we are fighting, or what we need to do in order to protect ourselves and defeat our enemy.They give no quarter, nor should we.

You don’t have to waterboard anyone.

Just make sure for 18 hours a day all the Islamists must watch in varying degree’s: The View, Desperate Housewives, & Sex in the City.
This could be conscrewed as brain washing or punishment beyond reasonable bounds. But hey its not Waterboarding, & the Gitmo Boy’s can have TV. Maybe vary it with the Midget Channel.

Worse than waterboarding:
* watching moonbats destroy America
* eating a whole spoonful of wasabi by itsels
* the new Sherlock Holmes movie (watching this might constitute torture for the literate; debate? )
* any method of abortion (Ann Coulter: “Could we abort the terrorists?” )
* cockroaches

Shagging Nancy Pelosi? I do agree that would be torture. And I know a guy from the Bay area that told me he would do her in a second!!!!!!! Sad man, indeed.
How about the old way of crossing the Equator on a Man-of-War? This was pre-PC and pre-Coed aboard ship. Some of my relatives referred to it as hazing and a few even called it torture. Being a “Shellback”, I cannot fully disclose what happened on that day, 28 December 1980, in the Indian Ocean. But the picture I sent my mother caused her to have a fit. She told me that there should be a congressional investigation. To any who have been in the Sea Services, that is an affront to something we take pride in.
Maybe it is “torture” to some but to us, it was one hell of a day!!!!!
