We agree about what torture elicits, what we disagree with is whether or not waterboarding is torture... A distinction people on your side have no inclination of making.



Purely your political opinion and supported by nothing more than the political opinions of others who say the same thing... Anything we do can be construed to "recruit more enemies" to the terrorists. You can't name one thing that couldn't be twisted to make the claim that it produces more terrorists.




Again, we agree on torture... We disagree on waterboarding being torture. I don't think waterboarding 3 senior AQ members caused more problems than it solved.



We still agree... I'm not for torture either but our opinions of what constitutes torture is certainly different. The biggest problem with you, or top gun, or pocket, or any of the others who are against waterboarding, is that you extrapolate to extremes by taking saying that anyone who disagrees with you on waterboarding is a supporter of any and all forms of torture: I say waterboarding isn't torture, therefore you extrapolate, based on that disagreement over one specific interrogation technique, and make the claim that I think all torture is acceptable, that we should torture people, to death if necessary, and do so for nothing more than sadistic pleasure.... That's simply political posturing, dishonest rhetoric and a repeated use of logical fallacies on your part, all in an effort to demonize me, for simply disagreeing with you on the issue of waterboarding.

Now, please, I asked the following and you keep dodging the question:


Offer your suggestion for how we can obtain information from a 1-A suspect who's been through all 5 levels of interrogation and remains uncooperative... He needs to go to level 6, "enhanced interrogation", so....


What Interrogation Techniques are Acceptable?


Just start with ONE specific technique that accomplishes these 2 goals:


1. Both you and the "civilized world" must find it acceptable.

2. It must achieve timely and accurate results.
