Let's be more like them!
That'll show that world how superior American values are.
That's not even funny as a joke.
But instead of spouting more inane jokes, explain why liberals are so worried about America pouring a little water in somebody's face
Speaking in Iowa on Thursday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who 40 years ago today was shot down, captured, and tortured by the North Vietnamese, took issue with Giuliani and Mukasey. McCain denounced waterboarding as clear-cut torture:
"Anyone who knows what waterboarding is could not be unsure. It is a horrible torture technique used by Pol Pot and being used on Buddhist monks as we speak," said McCain after a campaign stop at Dordt College here.
"People who have worn the uniform and had the experience know that this is a terrible and odious practice and should never be condoned in the U.S. We are a better nation than that."
McCain said that those who are unsure about waterboarding "should know what it is. It is not a complicated procedure. It is torture." He has previously called waterboarding "very exquisite torture."
