ieatcrayonz Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Some think it helped save lives, others think that is a useless torture technique. What do you think? Those are good questions that may never be answered. Some people also say that waterboarding is an effective recruitment tactic for Al Quaeda. Of course this notion is completely made up and does nothing except display that people will believe anything they read. That Americans are being displayed as so gullible is really the recruiting tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dib Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 It's not as bad as skateboarding. Sure, it's ok though for the bad guys to cut the heads off of our guys, aqnd blow them up with roadside bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a post for me, otherwise quit making stupid comparisons. The question is whether, as a country, we should uphold higher moral standards or drop ourselves to a more savage level.

VABills Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 How is waterboarding any worse than the Lynch treatment of Cnadians. You know run them over and leave them for dead in the middle of the street. Seems to me waterboarding would be more humane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Gee, maybe our soldiers shouldn't use real ammo in their weapons. Cause it's just cruel that the people they are aiming at may get hurt. Maybe we should just try to reason with the people we catch to get info out of them. They surely will understand and give it up willingly being the civilized bunch they are. Or better yet, lets hire hookers to blow em for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 It's not useless to people like Dick Cheney who was willing to get false information as long as it was what he wanted to hear, namely a terrorist saying there was a link between 9/11 and Iraq so he could use it to support the administration's false claims. But if you want true information, it's useless, as has been stated my many military and CIA veterans who are familiar with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"snip" By presidential decision, last month we saw the selective release of documents relating to enhanced interrogations. This is held up as a bold exercise in open government, honoring the public’s right to know. We’re informed, as well, that there was much agonizing over this decision. Yet somehow, when the soul-searching was done and the veil was lifted on the policies of the Bush administration, the public was given less than half the truth. The released memos were carefully redacted to leave out references to what our government learned through the methods in question. Other memos, laying out specific terrorist plots that were averted, apparently were not even considered for release. For reasons the administration has yet to explain, they believe the public has a right to know the method of the questions, but not the content of the answers.

C.Biscuit97 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 If you are being waterboarded....you probably deserve it Did you know that during the Salem witch trials, any women suspected of being a witch was held under water for a certain amount of time. If she survived, she was a witch & burned at the stake. If she died, they apologized to her family. Part of me thinks that at war, anything goes. Torture doesn't last since the beginning of time if it didn't work. However, the other part of me thinks that if you are willing to torture another human, how are you any better than "criminals" you are trying to catch? Plus, tubing is way more fun.
