Give Barry six months and waterboarding will not be torture, gitmo is a great place, wire taps help keep us safe and we'll need 30,000 troops in iraq for decades. The logic of not supporting waterboarding for the worst terrorists is absolute nonsense. I've heard dozens of them make the claim, and not one of them has made an argument that isn't easily shot down. It just isn't there. It just really isn't torture by any reasonable measure, just as Abu Ghraib involved no torture. At worst, it involved embarrassing some prisoners. Sorry it happened. Get over it. Throw a shoe at someone. But shit, don't go kill innocent people over it. Hell, it was no worse than many 6th graders get in the school yard. Weenies. Waterboarding isn't torture because it involves no significant pain and it only lasts a few seconds, at most, 3.5 minutes (which is how long it took KSM to give it up which saved innocent American lives). And it has been used only on three of the worst terrorists in existence. My only question is, "Why did we stop?" If I had a shot at KSM I'd be waterboarding him for weeks on end just to watch him get what he deserved.
