Q U E S T I O N:
The precedent of waterboarding has been set in the USA to have been defined as a form of TORTURE, a war crime… NO?

If I’m wrong, then what was the Court Martial of the US Serviceman shown to have participated in waterboarding, if not that it was already agreed upon as being illegal?

Coercive interrogations are no more effective outside the USA (CIA) than they are inside the USA (FBI). It seems to me that it says more about the moral compass of the FBI vs the CIA.

Did I read the Mueller quote correctly?

He conditioned the prohibition of waterboarding ” by using “here in the United States”.

That means nothing unless we have detention facilities where coercive tactics can be used here in the United States.

“Yes, ‘n’ how many times can a man turn his head and pretended that he just doesn’t see? “Thanks for just the right words, Bob.

Torture gets you good information. And bad information. And complete rubbish. And no way to distinguish between them.

It also got us a significant portion of the findings in the 9/11 Commission report:

Wow, RU, Iâ€™m surprised the WTF-Incredulometer is still operational after what it has been put through this past year.

I’ve had to replace the re-frammlator twice, but it’s still spinning like a, well, a Romney!

Hayden â€œguaranteedâ€ that if legislation is passed prohibiting coercive techniques, the CIA will abide by it.

Hey! Dumbfu(k!

We signed on to the Geneva Conventions!

That’s legislation prohibiting torture/waterboarding!

Wow, he’s slippery.

Chuck: Bush Cabal wants lawlessness to prevail. If the war on terror continues indefinitely, the Bush/Cheney coffers since the merge of their war profiteering enterprises will fluorish.

Good! Now someone can send Mucky Mukasey the memo so he knows what to say. When do the crimes against humanity trials begin for Bush and Cheney?

The administration torture advocates say that water boarding is legal and effective; but, hasn’t been done for nearly 5 years. So, if they haven’t continued water boarding, then aren’t they, by their own admission, not fully their alleged ‘war on terror?’ The bush crime family is letting the terrorists win!

Mine broke after the Al Qa Qa Facility had TONS of hi grade explosives that could be used for either IEDs or WMDs stolen AFTER the US Army secured the facility and we STILL elected Bush into his second term.

I mean seriously… that story broke like 3 weeks before the election proving Jr. seriously screwed the war up from the beginning.

Off topic but worthy of notice: The CIA is now offically “trolling blogs, MYSPACE and YouTube. Really.

Why torture when you can get whatever “intelligence” you want from characters like Curveball?

Because this is well know, torture isn’t about information. It’s about giving the torturer the gratification of power.

Seriously, my tax dollars are too dear to be used to fund some sadist’s fetishes. There are BDSM clubs for that.
