I swear.
Do you ever tire of saying things that reveal you don't know what's going on.

Sure. Let's "ask McCain"...
Waterboarding is a form of torture no matter how it is done and should be a prohibited among U.S. military interrogation practices, Republican presidential candidate John McCain said today, taking issue with GOP rival Rudy Giuliani’s recent remarks.

“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.”

The list of stories that the media refuses to allow discussions of is way too long to list but then ignorance IS bliss......It's just a shame that it can also KILL you.

The press never asked why Bush lied...
I guess you just NEVER heard any Bush press conferences.

Link to your proof.
I stand by my assessment.

The Navy Seals tried using waterboarding for a while as a training technique on torture. They abandoned the practice because it turned into a problem with moral when the Navy Seals, some of the toughest guys on the planet, could not withstand it.

There is a reason it is so very effective as a torture practice.
There is a reason John McCain whole-heartedly admits it IS torture.
And your case, ignorance of the above is obviously willful...

ALL trainees are instructed that "you will be broken" when the enemy gets you.

You're right the media should have waterboarded GW Bush.
After all they DID do everything else.

ROFLMAO!
Are you trying to tell me that you actually "served"?

Or is this more in what has become a comical portrayal of you making up incessant junk to try to pretend that you have a point?

Waterboarding IS torture.
It IS against the Geneva Convention.

Considering you have backpedalled away from your absurd pretense that it is not torture after I gave you a John McCain quote showing it IS torture, I'll move on...
