The real bad guys use real torture:

[All Else Failed]

Exactly. Using something that does not actually hurt anybody but instead scares them is not torture. Pulling somebody's finger nails out or whipping them half to death is.

Water boarding goes beyond merely "scaring" a person.

Beyond how?

 

[All Else Failed]

Beyond how?

Probably making them have mental problems that are long lasting after the torture, health problems and so on.

You mean like the guy in the video who went through it more than once and actually volunteered to do it?
And we are talking about captured terrorists here. Do you really think they are water boarding everybody who happens to look arab?

Oh please, they were being gentle in that video.


And no, I do not think they torture people just because they look Arab, don't take me as a fool.

Oh I forgot, they probably beat them at the same time. :smiley24:

But that would be consistent with your usual talking points.

When have i ever suggested that we hunt down all Arab looking people?

It would be constant with the fact it would be off the wall and not reality.

Don't be ridiculous.

We really need to bring back the idea of the Team Debates.

Can we choose sides? I really don't think in this I could handle being put on the same team as Grace, Intruder and GLing! No offense!:24:

Oh no offense at all. I could never find myself on the same aide as you, PT, or AEF.

 

[Peter Parka]

Looks like the sides have been drawn then, now who's going to make this happen?

Let me bump the old thread back up.
