But that still doesn't change my stance on whether we should have done it.
Ten,
I am not trying to change your mind. Your mind is all made up. I wrote that for other readers.
I was trying to describe what wins wars and explain that pussyfooting around with a form of fairly mild, and proven, non-lethal, interrorgation is neither a war winner nor worth any more discussion, especially since in this case it was deemed not effective enough about 8 years ago, and terminated.
If you want to beat up America at least find something we are doing today to piss and moan about.
Granted, in exceptionally selective interviews, it did get us a tiny bit of good intel that we were able to use short term. Are you opposed to using such info to attack those who murdered thousands of American non-combatant men, women, and children?
Name one person friend or foe, that America water-boarded who needed a nurse visit, much less a doctor or hospitalization, or an undertaker.
As I said previously, war is about killing. Most NYC residents comprehend that. If the rest of America can't get past water boarding, we are in deep sxxt.
If we are to survive as a free nation, some need to toughen up.
