You have no friggin idea how many we tortured and I'm not just talking waterboarding.....But I am sure it's a helluva lot more than three.

I'm sure you're "sure". After all, a liberal never lets facts stand in the way of a good argument, right?


What did I just tell you Panetta said yesterday.....NO more black prisons...that's what you're referring to and don't know it.


"Black" prisons? You mean like GITMO, in which the treatment of prisoners was apparently better than practically every prison in the world? Take any prison in South or Central America. Take any prison in the Far East or Mid East. And show how their prisoners are better treated than Guantanamo detainees. The only substantiated complaint is that they were held without charges, which was for good reason.

We waterboarded THREE people -- one receiving three minutes of the treatment and the other two less than one minute. This isn't torture. This is tough interrogation.

I don't know what you mean by "black" prisons. I suppose those where the detainees are kept behind bars.

But our country was one hell of a lot safer when a person who had, or potentially had, important intel -- could be questioned in a reasonable manner. As of now, our HUMINT gathering ability has been substantially hampered by the new administration.

If we are hit again, there is going to be a huge political price to be paid. Because Obama owns this issue. He will be run out of office on a rail. I just hope like hell we don't lose a million or more innocents in the process.
