interesting history of the haphazard manner we came to embrace water boarding after previously prosecuting it as a war crime.

It's one thing to separate people from others, AND IT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT THING TO TORTURE THEM. I think they were correct in doing it here during WW2. It should of been done in a way that made sure none of the Japanese Americans lost any property or valuables etc., but I think that's an example of a necessary evil done to protect a nation at war. Yea, we kept some citizens from being able to roam freely for a couple years. Big deal. Torturing people without even a trial? That's gunna keep us from ever electing a Texan for president again. That's was the last fkn Hee Haw in charge..ever!

Add a guy from Wyoming- Cheney
and a guy from Illinois - Rumsfeld

Doubt Bush stumbled on to this without their input.

just an article about how the debate was framed. interesting how so many of the arguments heard here in support of torture mirror the misinformation spread in this single interview.

Hey, they said that after LBJ also and his Great Society.
And along comes the Bush family infiltrating the NE to Florida,
to Texas.

If our current Governor runs for anything on the federal level
I will allow myself to be waterboarded for charity.

Last week, Sean Hannity, a conservative Fox News host, said he would agree to be waterboarded (for charity) when a guest proposed that he experience it.

And then I want to waterboard Sean Hannity.

The 1st thing only took place because JFK had his brains blown out. What ya gunna do? Elect Goldwater? The younger Bush got a half mil less votes than Gore. In 2004, Kearry was more boring in speeches than my mom is on the phone. My mom still thinks my Dad can't figure out his hearing-aid settings (he chooses not to.)
