I have to admit when I read the interrogations memos that were declassified I don’t see how one could defined the methods approved as torture. Real wimpy stuff to say the least, and an amazing code of restraint on the part of the interrogators. If those methods are torture, then I am being tortured everyday by the thought of Obama’s stimulus bill bankrupting our economy or raising taxes to pay for it. So let me get this straight the new definition of torture is being uncomfortable and not getting any sleep? I was also disappointed in the water boarding part. I always thought that to do that right you tied the subject to a chair which was mounted on the end of a long board like a teeter-totter. Then they dunked the subject into the river or a pool. This stuff is nothing compared to the Spanish Inquisitions of old. Now that’s real torture. If you knew that the prisoner had knowledge of where an attack could take place on American soil. And you also knew that such an attack could kill hundreds if not thousands innocent civilians and maybe even your own loved ones. I fear I wouldn’t have the restraint the interrogators had. I think this is a losing battle for the Democrats especially when Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed signed off on it. They all supported it before it became unpopular through media’s misrepresentation of the interrogators method by calling it torture. But through all this I think the awesome news is that because of Obama’s idiotic stupidity in releasing the memos this may actually help vindicate Bush in the long run. People have suffered more going to public schools. Everyone needs to read the memos that were released for a good laugh.
