Water Boarding Options

[jaeman]

Many of you may recall this topic being discussed as a political issue in the current 2008 Presidential Election.

For those who aren't familiar with the topic, water boarding is a form of tortue which utilizes water and simulates drowning in a controlled setting. The process has allegedly been used by the CIA to interrogate detained terrorists and is seen more of an interrogation technique than torture. That's right, United States law does not recognize water boarding as a form of torture and allows the practice. Seems ironic because government officials claim that the United States of America definitely does not practice torture.

Do you think water boarding should be classified as tortue in United States law and the practice be stopped?

What a sissy.

So why were these prisoners in there? Did they maybe do something, anti-US? Did they maybe, try to kill our soldiers? BOO f**kING HOO. They're in prison for a reason. What are supposed to do, give them cable TV, air conditioning, a comfortable bed, and meals on a daily basis? Are we supposed to give them a better life than they had before they were admitted? That's some stupid shit right there. Let them burn outside, let them be humiliated, tortured. They knew what they were getting into when they opposed the United States.
