Allen - I'll resist responding to the rude logic statements. I suppose any logic someone doesn't agree with can be labeled similarly. I don't think it would add much value to the board to go down that road in response.

Hitchens believes water boarding is torture. Yet he participated in it. Do you honestly believe a person would willingly subject themselves to "torture"? Logic tells me at some point; slightly before, at the very beginning, or a moment before a person thinks he is undergoing "torture' voluntarily, he would act to stop it. The fact that he didn't stop the event, demonstrates he's only fooling himself.

What experience do you think an elitist writer like Hitchens has in regard to various forms of torture? Since you mentioned him, you must believe his opinion warrants some kind of high value. What real value does he bring to the table? Besides supporting your contention all forms of water boarding is "torture"?

I read recently Sean Hannity is now going to be water boarded, and donate all proceeds to charity. A circus could now consume the media for weeks, and be broadcast around the world, because, the hard left inner circle of Obama's team felt the need to declassify and release secret memo's regarding CIA interrogation techniques.

Releasing the memo's does nothing but embolden our enemies and open the nation up to criticism by two-bit dictators around the word. Why any American would support such an action for political purposes is despicable.

If Obama wanted to change public policy he could have done it without the anti-American public relations circus. No American interests are served by the public release of these memo's. None. It's all about politics and meeting the needs of the anti-American radical Soros wing.
