Comments on: Republicans Stop Bill To Ban Waterboarding

Talk about weak, we are going to allow cockroaches hiding in caves to alter our Constitution.
And the GOP calls Democrats weak? we are running from clowns who hide in caves!!!
Amazing.

All said and done if they think it''s a great christen thing to do they should be obligated to try it and see how INOCENT it is and how it makes you feel like a man when it''s done to somebody else.

"Waterboarding is torture. We are the good guys--The United States of America. We do not torture people. We will lose our identity and become just like our enemies if we forget who we are. We must do the right thing."

HEAR! HEAR!!

I would rather the terrorist kill me and my entire family than surrender one inch of our precious American way of life based on freedom, justice and liberty.

STOP THE TORTURE! STOP THE ILLEGAL SPYING!!

We in the US need to vote all the neo.cons, fascist war mongers & radical American clerics back into their small filthy corner of the universe. That malodorous region from which they have crawled like roaches to multiply and plague the US government and political landscape this past quarter century.

Those law breakers who have a tarnished our ideals and values must be held accountable for their crimes.

Let''s return the nation to it''s rightful heirs those who care most deeply for the rights of the individual over big government and corporate greed.

I thought Halloween was over.
I''m SO TIRED of the "be afraid , be VERY afraid" crowd that must have been the life of the campfire group. The "spooky stories" they can gin up are about as OLD as the "monkey''s Paw tale.

Cry WOLF!!! over something More REAL - like WHY Osama Bin Laden can "elude capture" for what - OVER 6 years now when this nation has satellites that can pretty much read license plates and Saddam sure couldn''t even hide in a hole.

SOMETHING STINKS over the whole "golly gee we just can''t find him" garbage!!

I''ve heard too many gigantic holes in the "official" stories and our Executive branch is either totally brain-dead, AFRAID of Bin Laden, being blackmailed by Bin Laden or IN on what happened and trying desperately to cover it up.

ANY of those options spell MAJOR Leadership problems at the HIGHEST level and spineless idiocy by those that DON"T at least check the facts.

In the meantime this nation continues to argue trivia.

Nothing like fiddling while our nation''s Constitution and economy BURNS.

Second that notion....

Waterboarding is torture. We are the good guys--The United States of America. We do not torture people. We will lose our identity and become just like our enemies if we forget who we are. We must do the right thing.

What''''s wrong with that? Better waterboarding than beheading.

If it''s going to be done on Bush and Cheney I''d be willing to settle for either one.

[cofmanaaron]

The problem is, before Dubya sold out our morals about torture, nations were obligated to obey the Geneva Convention. Now, with countries like, oh, Russia can just referance this if they start a war down the road with us. Now anything goes, thanks to the un-American party (Republican party).

[cofmanaaron]

Waterboarding is wrong because it is morally wrong, ask John McCain. We were supposed to be past barbarism since the 1800s, but I guess it is because the mentally and morally challenged hold the power today. What, if Russia started a war with us you would be cool with them torturing our troops? You really are a totalitarianist aren''t you rushlimpdrug? Waterboarding citizens? Fascists like YOU should be shot for treason. You know nothing about being an American.

[katg21]

Of course the GOP realizes that this means other countries get to use waterboarding too????????????

Republicans = torture

They are LESS THAN HUMAN, folks!

There is simply NO EXCUSE for torturing people! There are NO EXCEPTIONS!

Evil: the GOP be thy name!

[sgtrds]

Saddam was reviled because he tortured his enemies. The dubya administration is apparently as anxious to turture its enemies as Saddam was his.

"Two legs bad, four legs better".....

Now, thanks to that as*shole in the White House, America is looked at in the same way as Saddam was. That''s the most unforgivable damage Bush has done to our nation.

[sgtrds]

How much more nonsense - Spam - Will you post ? ?

Ignore him/her/it. He''s a worthless piece of sh*it and always will be. Why feed into his fantasy that anyone gives a da*mn about his opinion?

[xlib]

Your nance, jay rockerfeller and other nothed dems visited those nasty overseas places and WATCHED waterboarding and one queried "do you think it harsh enough to be effective". This was in 2002. But you won''t find that story here, oh no. So, if you have the intestinal fortitude, libs, look it up for yourself.
What a bunch of hyocritic idiots you all are.

[shanev137]

We as a country really need to pick a stance on human rights violations. We punish other countries for violating humans rights, yet we do the same thing.

The double-standard hypocrisy in the country is SICKENING....makes me feel like puking every time I hear about it.

[moxford0]

Sen.Graham needs to be waterboarded with used chewing tobacco juice.

[rushlimpdrug]

I''m sure this technique has thwarted hundred, thousands, millions and even billions of terrorist plans.

Perhaps those that are against it may be part of terrorist groups themselves?

Shall we torture them and find out?

If not, why not? Could it be those opposing are also aiding the terrorist?

Perhaps we should do a nation-wide survey, and those opposing waterboarding should be waterboarded to find out what they know.

[moxford0]

The GOP needs to be waterboarded with dog pee and then hit over the head with the board.

[jsilver2th]

We have no objection to waterboarding as long a Wolf Blitzer can use it in the GOP Presidential debates...
