i love a good veto

waterboarding - simulated drowning.  does this look like torture to you?



today, our president vetoed legislation meant to ban the CIA from using waterboarding and other harsh interrogation tactics.  in a time when " the haters" incinerate 3000 of us, destroy our assets, behead us, and vow to hang the islamic flag over the white house, why would we NOT want every tool available to us to feret out necessary information from suspected terrorists to stop them?  to me its wildly inappropriate to limit this as a interrogation technique because of the seriousness of our times.

i mean get stinking real.  THIS is torture from Al Qaeda's own manual....



and i guess if the bad guys still won't spill it, there is always the ultimate torture...

     

anything from these three is horror personified. :P

1 - The argument that if we use methods like waterboarding we become like the terrorists themselves is soft and has no merit. There are times when extraordinary measures are required to save lives. I am all for waterboarding as it has proven to work with the 9/11 terrorists. I get so tired of soft liberals who are more concerned about saving some endangered fish then American men, women, and children. If our country were attacked again would the liberals be out there singing on the capital steps again like after 9/11? I get so tired of their inconsistancies. Blech!

3 - To be honest I'm not sure how I feel about water boarding, as a child I had a drowning experience so it doesn't look pleasant to me but I also understand the need to get information and I know that this is much less a form of torture than other methods but to be honest I wince when I think about water boarding. (Comment this)
