Sic Semper Tyrannis!
All these radical righties are a bunch of cowards. On the morning of 9-11 after the attacks which my wife and I watched on TV (the second one) I got my keys and headed for the door. My wife asked "where are you going?". I said "I'm going to work, terrorism only works if we become terrified".
But all the cowardly righties immediately said , "throw out all our principles and save me from the scary terrorists".
I'd rather die in a terrorist attack than live under a fascist regime like Bush and Cheney tried to create.
The reason righties think that torture works is because they know it would work on them, they are such cowards.
For people ready to die for their cause, torture is no deterrant and does not work.
bfd...i went right back to work as well, everyone i know did.
are you actually claiming the no dem said anything about possible terrorists attacks on US soil? do you ever see anything in non partisan way or is it just the prism that republicans are evil and democrats good?
Look you guys are the ones defending the use of toture. You are the ones with the knee jerk defense of someone from your party. As I've said before on this site, if Nancy Pelosi or any other Dem acted as an enabler for the Bush torture regime they should also be prosecuted for war crimes.
By the way, waterboarding is torture and is prohibited by US treaty and law, unless you are going to claim that it does not cause"physical pain or suffering" which is the definition of torture.
Waterboarding has been jawboned and shoehorned into being "within the meaning" of torture. I have seen nothing in the description and movies that I have seen that indicates that water boarding causes any physical pain or suffering.
Please cite a source for the proposition that water-boarding is specifically torture (that would be a court of some kind or international tribunal) that way we know who you are supporting against your country.
Please cite a source for the proposition that water boarding causes pain or suffering.
In fact, it causes psychological distress by making you think you will drown (even though this is not possible). I would distinguish this from suffering.
Lastly, please cite a source that the standard to determine "torture" is pain and suffering.
