Lieberman should also apologize to the family of the Japanese Imperial Army officer who was executed after WWII for performing waterboarding on American prisoners of war and certainly to the families of the former Nazi officers found guilty at the Nuremberg trials of using the proceedure on American prisoners.

I can’t BELIEVE my country LET’S THESE BASTARDS dictate our policies.

not only did we REMOVE the US from Canada’s DFAIT’s torture manual (aka “torturing nations list“)… but we’re now to remove Israel & Mexico…

on NO!!!, that wasn’t ENOUGH… my government also jumped to issue a statement on the same day as Maxime Bernier’s apologetic statement… indicating Canada wishes to participate in the US FBI’s international Server in the Sky program.

“Silent Freedom is Freedom Silenced”

For instance: Mr. Leiberman, you’ve been leading the charge to threaten Iran with attack. Given that, would you say that it would have been ok for the Iranians to have named the British soldiers they captured “enemy combatants” in their waters, and then proceeded to water-board them?

Please Mr. Leiberman answer clearly so everyone can hear you… because that is what you are actually outlining here when you condone the use of torture under “certain circumstances.”

“You disgust me, and I guarantee you that Jesus is not pleased as well.”

Study the collected works of jerryleecooper once more time and come back with a sightly more original self-contradictory position.

But what do the subhumans care about humanity?

My, you’re the consummate troll. I suspect a spoof, but with REthuglicans nowadays, ya never know…

“I guarantee you that Jesus is not pleased as well.”

Ummm, rrrrriiigghht you are. WWJWB, indeed?

Cheers,

Whether it should be done for the “Ticking Time Bomb” (in those situations where there truly is such) is a quite different prospect from whether it should be legal.

What’s far worse than that is to invoke the “TTB” for the legalisation of a procedure, so that there’s no consequences for torturing a person to save the world … or just because you felt like it. Once the maladministration manages to “define” wateroarding as “not torture” and thus legal, it’s not just legal for the exceptional circumstances where the shortsighted might argue “necessity” (or “greater good”), but rather for all circumstances.

Cheers,

“If it doan leave no marks, it’s not torture…..”

Cheers,

The mind boggles.

Well then, what did Jesus say about terrorists?

WHO WOULD JESUS TORTURE?
WHO DID JESUS SAY TO KILL?
WHO WOULD JESUS BOMB?

Use Jesus as your excuse to endorse a behavior that causes pain and anguish. Yes, Jesus may have always handed out His consequences for sinners, but to really suggest that you’re doing His Justice by acting like Jesus would… means you desire to be like Jesus and have His power and Glory and the knowledge of God so as to determine who is and isn’t a sinner that deserves punishment. You then become nothing but a delusional Christian that thinks acting like God not only brings you closer to God but actually into a god.

Christian? Or a wool sack cloth worn to blend in with the Lords flock?

Perfectly stated! Thanks MC. The last gasp 24%r’s think they are military wizards – not the incompetent chickenhawks they really are.

Lieberman should also apologize to the family of the Japanese Imperial Army officer who was executed after WWII for performing waterboarding on American prisoners of war and certainly to the families of the former Nazi officers found guilty at the Nuremberg trials of using the proceedure on American prisoners.

If it’s not a crime of torture today, then it certainly wasn’t during the War in Viet Nam or WWII, right?

So Holy Joe thinks it’s not torture when America does it.

I almost hope a liberal wins this fall so we can actually win the WOT. Your partisan hatred for Bush has clouded your judgement on issues important to the security of this nation.

Someone naming themself “Liberals Are Filled With Hate” is laughably prattling on about “partisan hatred” aimed at Shrub ?

You mean like you 20%’ers , who called everyone that was opposed from the very beginning of the installing of a moronic life-long failure in the White House and his subsequent illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq , “anti-American(s)” , “terrorists” , “terrorist sympathizers” , al Qeada members/operatives and other such niceties ?

BTW
Can you or any member of the Chimpy Adoration Brigade please explain the basis behind claiming a military deserting moron and a 5 deferrment coward as somehow now being national security experts ?

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” (Matt 7:15-23)
