re: "No one was tortured".....You couldn't be a bigger jackass.... "In 1983 Texas sheriff James Parker and three of his deputies were convicted for conspiring to force confessions. The complaint said they "subject prisoners to a suffocating water torture ordeal in order to coerce confessions. This generally included the placement of a towel over the nose and mouth of the prisoner and the pouring of water in the towel until the prisoner began to move, jerk, or otherwise indicate that he was suffocating and/or drowning."[5] The sheriff was sentenced to ten years in prison, and the deputies to four years.[4][5]" en.wikipedia.org

"what Louis Zamperini endured at the hands of his Japanese captors." I've read his book.....and he went through hell several times...being beaten every day, sometimes to unconsciousness and near starved, forced to wallow in feces and other atrocities...... I gather you agree that he was tortured.....he most definitely was, but he give up any useful information to his captors as a result of the torture.... NO!!!

Bobby Jindal Releases His Birth Certificate, Too AND GUESS WHAT, HE'S A U.S. CITIZEN By John Johnson, Newser Staff newser.com Posted May 7, 2011 5:25 PM CDT (NEWSER) – Keep your hands off Bobby Jindal, birthers. The Louisiana governor has released his birth certificate to prove he is a US citizen, reports the New Orleans Times-Picayune. The certificate shows that Jindal—given the first name Piyush— was born in Baton Rouge on June 10, 1971, to Indian immigrants. Both parents had their green cards. The move comes after David Vitter, a GOP senator also from Louisiana, introduced a bill last month to limit birthright citizenship. Under the measure, kids born in the US qualify for citizenship only if at least one parent is already a legal resident. Jindal still qualifies: The green cards his parents held gave them that status. Even if Vitter's bill becomes law, then, their baby can run for president.
