The fact is that purposely inflicting physical pain on someone who is a bound, defenseless detainee is wrong. The loophole you choose could go up to ANYTHING except death... and that on it's face is ridiculous.
America long ago agreed internationally that waterboarding was TORTURE. That's obviously evidence enough right there.
Now there you go again!
You already have the I'm a HUGE liar banner hanging over your head... please don't build on it I said the way to prove waterboarding is TORTURE is to simple allow someone to do it to you. And I volunterred. Offer still stands by the way.
There's no "eager" to it. First I already know that you know it's causes severe pain and suffering... and you're not that brave either.
Well let's leave you out of it and just say even borderline intellegent people know DROWNING is painfull.
I'm saying no such thing. I'm saying it's TORTURE, it's wrong, and if people act like that they should be prosecuted. You can "think" however you like.
When I get sick I go to a doctor because he is a better authority than a lay person. Same thing here with an ex-Navy Seal that's actually been through the training.
This may be why your economic posts are so bad. In your mind anyone with experience in the field is automatically wrong and you look for a gut response on political dogma.
You're wrong... prove it?
I've personally known a handful of people over may 52 years that have almost drowned, one I talk to almost every day. I had a cousin that actually did drown. Saying it's not painful just show how pitifully ignorant you are.
Yes... yours is ridiculous and mine is rational. You are PRO-TORTURE... just admit it and move on.
There you go yet again crunching things I said to different questions into one answer... you know when you do that knowingly that's... well... LYING AGAIN! Don't do that it makes you look weak.
What I've said very clearly is I think that these detainees... the ones we've been talking about all along... should have been treated under Geneva Convention standards regardless of what anyone wants to call them.
I later said that I'd have no "personal" problem with the rules being changed to where their could be some limited physical contact such as pushing someone up against a wall or an opened hand slap across the face.
That would be my acceptable change. You went from civilized skilled & firm interrogator to TORTURER by your leap to water suffocating someone. This is where we differ... I'm against TORTURE & TORTURERS. I'm sorry that's your chosen base camp... I really am.
