100. So, if waterboarding is legal, then why have we prosecuted a police official in the US for doing the same thing to prisoners in his jail in 1983?

The laws on the books about what constituted torture were pretty clear. Those memos were a pretty feeble attempt to give legal cover after the fact (remember, they were waterboarding people BEFORE those memos were written).

So, you’re a Federal Citizen, unlike me? I’m curious as to why you assert that I’m not a “Federal Citizen”. I was born here, both my parents were born here. I have a legal SS#, pay my taxes, have never been arrested for anything, have a college degree, and have never taken Federal assistance, or even a college loan. Oh, that’s right, you clowns only think that people who walk lockstep with your demented political philosophy are “real Americans”.
