"Quaint" was the word I think Cheney used. And that is the way we seem to treat everything from police brutality to torture reports. If the other guy does something unconscionable that makes it okay for others to do something equally as wrong ???
Besides -- torture or enhanced interogation or whatever you want to call it Doesn't Work

Pleasse point out in the Geneva Accords where that is stated or is that you know "like your opinion man".
Quick Garmell without googling -- what are the Geneva Accords aand what and why are they in place. The events that led to them ? Outside of those trying to protect their asses, who still holds the slightest notion that torture works?
You don't understand what the topic is or what it is about
I find it impossible for a study to make that determination. Torture is going to work differently on all types of people.

We killed Gul Rahman and gave a bonus of $2,500 to the guy who killed him for "@akaelus: "consistently superior work"
Never mind what the footnote says about Gul though: "Footnote 32 says that Gul Rahman was a case of mistaken identity.
And we killed him. Froze him to death."

Yeah, if you look above I was explicitly talking about waterboarding. Sorry if I didn't make that clear.
Article 5 of the Geneva Convention. Further defined by Bush in Military Commissions Act of 2006.

it's absurd to say water boarding isn't torture
the moral high ground you stand on is pretty low if you don't think it is
Well, that's your opinion. I happen to think differently.

Alberto Gonzalez - if memory serves. Once again you take one side of the issue and turn your head to any other voices. Bush decided it wasn't torture. And, the cop in Ferguson was attacked -- both might be true but they are both only one side.
The Bush Definition.

Yeah - apparently it's OK to rape and kill people because thethe's sure that not all people adhere to those laws.

would love for you to be waterboarded and then have your thoughts on if it is torture or not
still waiting for Hannity to step up and do it as well while i am thinking about that when he said the same stupid ****ing statement you did

A few friends and I decided to do it to each other to gain an opinion of it.
It's most certainly torture. There aren't many things I'd like to avoid more for the rest of my life.
Wow. So much hate.
I've had a friends that had it done including a family member who doesn't think so. To each his own.
