>> No 186 times? What was it then 166 times??
No, just as I told you guys it would turn out, these numbers posted by a blogger were inaccurate.
KSM was waterboarded five times.
>> 186 waterboardings,hanging for days by the hands, sleep deprivation, freezing, loud music, nudity, you would not consider torture?
Perhaps hanging for days by the hands, but I've not seen any indication that was done. None of the others, no.
But it doesn't matter. Because I also believe more severe forms of torture are appropriate for terrorists who are plotting against American civilians. I would have no problem with seeing, for example, KSM tortured to death IF I had reason to believe it would save American lives (which we know, of course, it did).
I understand not everyone agrees about this. But it is my believe that you do what is necessary to avoid another 9/11. IMO, torture should not be off the table.
Not that I think those things are torture.
