Do we really live in a era where people have gone so soft as to claim dumping water on people and throwing bugs on them is torture? By liberals logic summer camp is is an ode to De Sade.

3 against 1 is unfair. With Ann being the 1, maybe if they’d thrown in a couple of more libs – like Colmes and Shep it may have been closer to being even.

I love Ann, and I wish her all the best. She might have to find another, better network to be seen on as, in my opinion, Fox News has gone downhill. I expect them to make a play for “Bathtub Boy” to join their lineup. Rivera is bad, Hammity has lost my respect, Greta is a ghoul feeding on headline heartbreaks. I listen to Gibson’s podcast, and that’s about it.

Poor Ann. As usual, she knows the facts, but Geraldo doesn't seem to interested in digging past the surface. Did we prosecute Japanese soldiers for waterboarding? Good thread on this question at Mahalo. I trust Ann has done the background work on this. One of the most famous cases (at least on the Web, deals with Yukio Asano. Waterboarding was only one of the charges against him; he also burned prisoners with cigarettes, and performed other sorts of water torture.

Oh, I gets it.
Its only torture when someone else does it.

I was right, You are just trolling. You have reasonable folks responding. You keep throwing out the bait. Why don’t you find another hobby besides keyboard sniping. If you ever run into me and offer that nonsense in person, I can give you a lesson that won’t be lost in the translation from your fantasy to a reality that does not involve hiding behind a keyboard.

Look Seals.
It is my understanding that SERE was designed to train our guyz how to survive torture if captured.
If waterboarding isn’t torture…..why train for it?

Because our Enemies don’t have any high minded notions on what it takes to win a War. Can You really be that naive or are you just trolling for an argument?

We will have to disagree on that, then. I believe the formal standard is something that “shocks the conscience”. This sort of stuff shocked the conscience of a man like Theodore Roosevelt and it shocked my conscience as well.

Squid Shark on April 26, 2009 at 5:17 PM

This is not what shocked the conscience of Teddy R (or, rather, what failed to shock his conscience). The “water cure” which should have shocked him was the act of pouring salt water into a person until they were distended like a balloon — and then emptying them and doing it again.

Note the stated death rate — the “water cure” was certainly torture. Now note the death rate from waterboarding — which causes no permanent or long lasting physical or mental harm, the hallmark of when our own anti-torture laws kick in.

Let’s try a situation you may have been through – in health class you were taught how to put on a condom by using a cucumber, no it’s not the same but it’s the best simulation they can do without “crossing the line”. It offers you a chance to do it over & over so you don’t freak out, so that when the real thing happens, and it will be far more intense you at least have some idea how to handle it.

Oh, I gets it.

Hey, shitdick – swimming isn’t torture either, but I believe swimmers train, do they not?

Are you somehow unaware that Coulter is Bill Maher’s most frequent guest?

History will be kind on the toturers but it does not make it right.

Squid Shark on April 26, 2009 at 1:55 PM

Really? Give us all of the historical examples which inform your opinion. Which “tortures” has history been kind to, in your JAG* estimation.

I just wish everybody would shut the hell up on the whole torture VS not torture BS and remember we have 130,00 members of the miltary still in harms way and all we give a shit enough to talk about is the treatment of people who would absolutely cut your head off given the chance. people who seem to gain weight, get healthier, and get their dental done while living in this tortureous environment. But then again I would guess that their scars would be emotional and deep(ask their lawyers) being forced to live in an environment where from what I can see their every request short of the key to the gate is being granted. (President Urkel is working on that).

BTW… Hannity makes me sick and I am a conservative. He’s all about himself. Rush has been on for years and Hannity has to tout that he’s been on longer than Rush. Ya Right. Hannity is a suck up to everybody to get them as guests on his show. I won’t watch it. Rush rules and Levin is a strong second.

I totally agree with the liberals… Let’s quit waterboarding, slapping their faces, etc. Let’s just behead them. That seems to be acceptable to the liberals. That’s not torture.

…that fact not relevant to you, you remind me of Teddy Kennedy(during debate on assassination) saying “better 1 million people die than we assassinate one foreign leader” Lets see 1 million for one, I don’t see the problem.

I beginning to want to see a few liberals assassinated. These people are idiots. They are going to get ~~people~~ Americans killed.

That squid creep is back telling us what is silly, man are YOU in our Navy. Please tell me your in the Cuban Navy. You seem to lose the fact that it prevented the deaths of thousands in L.A. or is that fact not relevant to you, you remind me of Teddy Kennedy(during debate on assassination) saying “better 1 million people die than we assassinate one foreign leader” Lets see 1 million for one, I don’t see the problem.
