Korinsha,
Re: "What does an executed man''s rape-room have to do with waterboarding...?"
I was attempting to compare the atrocities of the rival "Butchers of Baghdad".
Waterboarding happens to be a favored technique of the Bush-puppet Butcher.- Reply to this comment
- Ron Paul does not support secret offshore prisons like the one in Guantanamo, where our government tortures prisoners, who have no right to redress of grievance, or to writ of habeus corpus. Ron Paul promises he will close these "illegal prisons" down. And he wouldn''t necessarily just release the prisoners either. He said he would just bring them to detainment facilities on U.S. soil where they would be entitled to an attorney, and to their day in Court--American Justice. Significant others agree with Paul. "Essentially, we have shaken the belief that the world had in America''s justice system by keeping a place like Guantanamo open and creating things like a military commission," former U.S. Secretary of State, Colin Powell recently said. "What can I do about it," you ask? Support the 2008 candidacy of Dr. Ron Paul for President. I believe he''s our only hope to restore peace, prosperity and civil liberty in this country. Throw-out the New World Order Fascists and their Socialist comrades in crime. Both groups consider themselves above the Constitution. Vote for a REAL American--Ron Paul. Presidential candidates with the integrity and proven track record of adherance to the Constitution Dr. Paul always demonstates only come around once in a lifetime, if we''re lucky. The cause of freedom is too important to let anything stand in the way of our participation in this 21st Century political revolution. The time for change is now. The time for Ron Paul is now!

- I don''t know about you, but I''m sick of no-win pseudo-wars, like The War on Drugs and The War on Terrorism. I''m sick of undeclared wars like The War in Iraq and unnecessary and protracted police actions like the one in Korea. I''m sick of income taxes, which are unconstitutional because they are are a direct tax and are not equally apportioned as the Constitution requires. I''m sick of back door national ID cards like The Real ID Act. I''m sick of warrantless domestic spying by the Department of Homeland Insecurity and the loss of my civil liberties as a result of Draconian, fear-based Laws with oxymoronic names like The Patrot Act. I''m sick of secret offshore prisons like the one in Guantanamo, where our government tortures prisoners, who have no right to redress of grievance, or to writ of habeus corpus. I''m also sick of the Federal Reserve (a secret group of private banks) manipulation of our worthless, fiat currency. Do yourself a favor. Support the 2008 candidacy of Dr. Ron Paul for President of The United States. I believe he''s our only hope to restore peace, prosperity and freedom in this country. Presidential candidates with the personal integrity and the consistent track record of adherance to our Constitution that Ron Paul has demonstrated only come around once in a lifetime, if we''re lucky. The stakes are too high, and the cause of freedom is too important to let anything stand in the way of our participation in this 21st Century political revolution. Go Ron Paul!

- Most Americans just don''t seem to care that our nation, along with the Constitution upon which it was founded, is being flushed-down the NWO toilet by our nations'' ruling elite. While the Oligarchs warn and insite fear in the sheeple about the prospect of terrorism, they at the same time leave our border wide open, and fund and conduct illegal wars overseas that do nothing but encite the terrorism which their Draconian Laws like the Patriot Act and The Real ID Act pretend to protect us from. Wake up America! It''s not about protecting you from terrorism, or saving our planet from Global Warming, or any of that fear-mongering garbage the sold-out, mainstream media feeds you 24/7. It''s about feeding the military industrial complex and facilitating the ruling elite''s ability to ratchet-down control over the American people, placing us into a total control grid where they can surveille, track and control everywhere we go and everything we do. It''s the groundwork for totalitarianism. It''s New World Order plan of Bush, Clinton, et.al., being executed quite beautifully. You''re a victim of mass mind control. I weep for my country, and for those of you who are so distracted, dumbed-down, or outright brainwashed by mainstream media, which endlessly regurgitates scientifically-crafted streams of information aimed at keeping your eyes closed to the realities of the world around you, that you fail to recognize this. Bring back freedom and liberty to this country. Vote for Ron Paul!

What does an executed man''s rape-room have to do with waterboarding...? - Reply to this comment
- CBS, if you truly want to provide a public servicen, then put on prime time programming, a video of a person being water boarded. Let everyone see someone being brought to the point of drowning over and over, let our citizens see that person choking on their own vomit, while their hands are tied, and they are upside down. Let the public see this "benign" form of interrogation, and lets see if they think it is torure. Let them see the evil in this adminstration right out there in the open.

- Frankly, if I captured a high command terrorist, I beleive any means to glean intelligence in order to protect innocent human beings from murdered is not unreasonable and good enough for me ...

Innocent human beings????? Anyone who would condone torture is not an innocent human being. If America wants to be the bad guys, fine, then just say we are the bad guys, like the Spanish inquisition, the Nazi''s, the Communist KGB, and every other immoral regime that has been in power. Just don''t be acting like we are the good guys then. - Reply to this comment
- It is torture. This is no question in any thinking person''s mind on this. Bush is evil. I think that he should undergo this form of torture, he and anyone else that doesn''t think it is torture, and then we will see what they think.

- Peculiar, that there is no mention of how many plots were divulged and how many lives were saved?
Did Amnesty International offer any alternatives?
