My bad. Wrong photo.
I have no problem with this man being tortured.
My bad. Wrong photo.
Why do you think they did?
Rosie is looking pretty good these days.My bad. Wrong photo.
Demonize Bush admin and portray the current admin as a "kinder, gentler" America.
The fact that to you torture is a joke says something about you, Darrin.I have no problem with this man being tortured.
If you had said the same about KSM I'd have some respect for you for making a strong case, but photoshopping Rosie O' Donnell in and encouraging us to laugh at our own urge to torture someone is sneaky and pandering IMO.
Damn. Lighten up, WH.
Topicality!
We were talking about torture. Effing pay attention!
Is this what you guys are so deadly serious about...?
Is that stuff really all that bad?
Using insects to scare someone with a phobia of insects
Nudity and wearing diapers
Sleep deprivation
Waterboarding
How about having to choose between burning to death and jumping to your death?
I normally think WH is as good a poster as exists on these boards. And I wouldn't say the same about you Darrin (or myself). And I'm not bothering to go back to look at page one for context, but I can agree with that. Seemed innocuous enough to me.
And these same people that you bleeding hearts are so worried about would stone a woman for being caught in the company of any man who is not a blood relative.
Heaven forbid, don't make these guys spend time in a room with a spider.
I was flattered that he thought I took the time to Photoshop that myself.
I think some of you guys need to watch Patton again. That's the kind of military leadership we need - none of this moral high ground crap.
(Psst -- they don't really like the military)
lol at the pre-emptive reference to conservatives taking their policy from movies. And
lol at crooks ass-ignorance.
I thought it was funny too, but I also had a harsh reasoned response to the post. It's reflected in my somewhat ironic wording.
Torture is not a ing joke. Sen Graham of SC described the Abu Ghraib tapes as including *serious crimes* like "rape and murder". Allegations and official disclosures of * harsh methods of interrogation* are already legion -- have you read any of them Darrin?
That was a good movie though.
There was a leadership problem at Abu Ghraib and that situation was dealt with.

As a rule, I'm against REAL torture. I don't have any issue with the list of unpleasantries in the OP.
And from what I understand, it was a pretty accurate depiction of General Patton.
How about protecting our troops?
If we're not only known to torture prisoners but advertise it as our official policy, defined officially as non-torture of course, are our troops more or less likely to be mistreated? Reciprocity governs relations between nations friendly and unfriendly. Isn't having a policy of mistreating prisoners foolish?
We also introduced the mirage of due diligence by having doctors monitior *stressed out* prisoners, thereby quashing any imputation as to motive: physicians were present. No harm was intended, or at least -- no critical, legally defined threshold of pain.
yeah, if only patton could get al-qaeda to line up like germans.
According to legend, Patton had a high, whiny, feminine voice.
Torture will not cease to exist it'll just be better hidden.
that would have never worked on the big screen.
Having it as official policy is stupid.
