Water boarding is considered torture under International Law...Obama banned it in in the US in 2009...It really didn't get much press here in the states until 2004 when it was made public that it was allegedly used in 02 and 03 by the Bush administration as a means of interrogating three suspected a-Qaeda terrorists.....In 02, The US Legal Counsel did write a memorandum which concluded water boarding was NOT torture and could be used for interrogation purposes...Does that make it right? Probably not...I am hard put to choose a side on this one because after 9/11, the game changed.....Those like Herman Cain, Governor Perry, and Michele Bachman who state unequivocally they would reinstate it if they were elected may not be in the majority, but at least they are being up front about it and I am sure they have access to more facts than I do or ever will have...In all honesty, if I was ever in a position where I had to make a choice and I was convinced American lives were at stake and I could save those lives, I would use any means I could to get the information I needed to protect innocent citizens.....PLEASE DON'T WATER BOARD ME!!! Let me fix these for you so people can "LOOK" http://www.antiwar.com/news/?articleid=2444 http://www.antiwar.com/news/?articleid=8560 It makes me sick we have people in our country that do these things and even sicker others allow it. Even though you know it doesn't work? And you are critiquing me? So they look alot worse than mere water boarding dont they? Out of the thousands of people tortured I wonder how many were found guilty? Like Conrad, I wonder if they are real..... |

Like optomistic said, 'why don't ya try it out'. Then you can fill us all in on the details since were so uninformed. I'd be curious to know what the most 'uncomfortable' part would be. Could be when getting tied down, or the bag going over the head, probably those doing this are threatening the entire time, that would be uncomfortable. Maybe when the water is forced down the throat. Could very well be the part when ones feels the ultimate fear of death and ***** his pants. wow, that does sound uncomfortable |

Water boarding is only torture if you're innocent and this is why we need to water board. |

Water boarding is only torture if you're innocent and this is why we need to water board. should we be 100% sure of guilt or innocence, or throw caution to the wind? |

Why don't we talk about the nearly 3,000 citizens who were crushed to death, burned alive, buried alive, well you get the picture....Now that is what I call torture...But who am I to judge....

I don't think it is as bad keelhauling. Keelhauling was a type of naval punishment in the 17th and 18th century. Although officially only the Dutch Navy practiced it, under the name of kielhalen. Keelhauling is a brutal form of corporal punishment which involves dragging the offender underwater from one side of a ship to the other. In a period when the word of the ship captain was law, keelhauling was only one in a variety of unpleasant punishment tactics which could easily kill a sailor. Keelhauling first appeared in 1560, when a Dutch ordinance outlined the practice and the offenses for which it could be used. Other maritime powers including Britain adopted the practice as well, although it began to be phased out in the 1700s. The Dutch Navy did not ban keelhauling until 1853, when a more humane era of sailing frowned on the practice. When a sailor was keelhauled, he would be stripped and tied so that he could not swim. Usually a weight was attached to his legs to pull him away from the ship. The sailor was attached to a rope which ran underwater from one side of the ship to the other, and he was rapidly pulled through the water. Assuming the sailor did not usually drown, he would severely injured by extremely sharp barnacles on the underside of the ship, known as the keel. Keelhauling would leave severe scars on the flesh of the sailor, serving as a constant reminder of the event. That is sort of like saying being shot in the gut is not as bad as being shot in the groin. I do not care for either alternative. |

We need to water board to determine that answer. If you see a dude come out of a bank with a sack of cash in one hand and a gun in the other and you ask "did you just rob that bank?" His reply will be NO! Strap that same dude to a board and pour water on the cloth covering his face and ask that same question and see what he says. |

His reply will be NO! Strap that same dude to a board and pour water on the cloth covering his face and ask that same question and see what he says. I thought this tactic was used to get information. If we see the guy come out of the bank with a bag of money and a gun, we can tackle and arrest him. If he says he didn't do it we have a trial and let the jury decide and if he is found guilty we can call him a liar and send him to prison. Did I miss an amendment in the patriot act...we torture liars?!?! I gotta take a toke and relax... thought I was in Nazi Germany!!!~ |
