How are we losing our country by adhering to the law, Jack? You really think terrorists can defeat the USA?

jack is trying to tell us that the ends justify the means.
Not anymore...
He calls bull on Pelosi's attempt to paint the CIA as a bunch of lying liars who lie.
Panetta, President Obama's pick to run the clandestine agency, wrote in a memo to CIA employees Friday that "CIA officers briefed truthfully on the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah, describing 'the enhanced techniques that had been employed,'" according to CIA records.
"We are an agency of high integrity, professionalism and dedication," Panetta said in the memo. "Our task is to tell it like it is—even if that’s not what people always want to hear. Keep it up. Our national security depends on it."
If the ends are extracting actionable intelligence that will save innocent American lives and the means are the enhanced interrogation techniques; I agree.
Until, of course, somebody suspects you are a terrorist and said 'enhanced interrogation techniques' are applied to you. Then you'll and whine how is it possible that the land of the free turned into a Nazi camp (and most likely blame it on the Democrats).
Well, if I was a know associate of a group of terrorists that had just killed 3,000 of my citizens, caused billions of dollars of physical damage, and tens of billions more in economic strife; and there is no argument these three individuals were that, I'd probably expect to have information extracted from me in whatever manner they deemed appropriate.
At that point, I'd count myself as lucky that it was the United States of America and not any other country in the world, doing the interrogations.
Be careful for what you wish, Cindy Sheehan is waiting to take her seat. The voters in her district will go farther left, and not the other way around.
Yoni would crack if you threw a water balloon at his ass.
I'd love to see Cindy Sheehan in the U. S. Congress, representing the people of San Francisco. That would be perfect.
I'd probably crack like Khalid Sheik Mohammed but, that's not really the point here, is it?
The only point you have is still up Bush's ass.
If he cracked in 30 seconds, why did he have to be waterboarded 183 times?
He wasn't waterboarded 183 times...and, once you have some information, verify it, it could lead to more questions and, more interrogation.
I believe they said he underwent 5 waterboarding sessions.
are you saying it would be bad to waterboard someone 183 times?
No. I'm not saying that.
is 5 times better?
If you were kicked in the groin 183 times in five sessions, how many times would you believe you were kicked in the groin?
If your barber cuts your hair using 183 passes of the clippers, how many haircuts did you get?
If a firing squad shoots 10 bullets into your heart, how many times are you executed?
If you were shot ten times -- how many times were you shot?
You were shot ten times in order to be executed...just like KSM had water poured on his face multiple times, during each waterboarding session.
Each pour doesn't cons ute an individual waterboarding session anymore than each pass with the clippers cons utes a haircut.
Why are you arguing this? I'm not particularly disturbed by the prospect of him being waterboarded 183 times either.
Having a bullet enter your body is being shot.
Having water poured on your face is being waterboarded.
Then why are you arguing this? Why try to downplay the numbers? Say he was waterboarded 183 times with pride if it doesn't bother you.Why are you arguing this? I'm not particularly disturbed by the prospect of him being waterboarded 183 times either.
Several platoons of American soldiers are being shipped from USA to Iraq where they will try to stop terror and help free the Iraqi people. The soldiers in each platoon needs to be divided equally among 3, 4, 5, or 7 squads. What is the least number of soldiers that each squad can have?
Because it's not accurate. Why not count the number drops in each pour and say he was waterboarded a bazillion times?
That would be inaccurate.
He was waterboarded 183 times.
