FRIST: If we discuss torture techniques enemy will TRAIIN to RESIST them

[Stephanie]

On George Stephanopoulos just now - If we discuss which types of torture are allowable, the terrorists will train themselves to resist these techniques. Talking about which torture techniques we are using only HELPS THE ENEMY.

Is it possible to be a both a Republican and a human being?

[Greeby]

1. Boy I'll be glad when he's gone

Patronizing cat-killing asshole :grr:

[bullimiami]

2. thats what stupid* keeps saying.

yeah they will figure out how to breathe underwater. for starters.

what a load.

[zanne]

3. How can they train to resist pain? nt

[specimenfred1984]

4. QUACK, Braindead women can talk, QUACK!

Frist should be torture just for the fun it, by his own traitorous supporters of torture.

[Solly Mack]

5. Which is just bullshit for "we torture, we know we torture, we are going

to keep torturing and if we tell you exactly what we do, then you will know we torture too - and then we can't lie to you and tell you how great and wonderful America is...and we might go to prison for war crimes because we are liars and war criminals"

[unblock]

6. as jon stewart said, they will develop gills....

interesting how they suddenly believe in evolution!

:evilgrin:

[spanone]

7. He's the dumbest dumbfuck to stumble down the road

in a long while. I AM ASHAMED HE IS FROM MY STATE, AS A HUMAN BEING I AM ASHAMED HE IS OF MY SPECIES.

He also told me that they are going to continue to torture.

[valerief]

11. Ah, be easy on him. He's got a styrofoam heart. He can't help it.

And he and the neocon cabal follow this philosophy:

The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.

note: edited to add a missing 'and'

[madrchsod]

8. how many of these people will be war crimnals

when sanity resumes in the world? the history books are full of people who thought they were above the law....

[ShortnFiery]

40. A good part of The World is basically sane, especially in Old Europe

However, they are scared sh*tless of what The New Evil Empire (The USA) may do next. :scared:

Europe's and even The UK's news outlets are NOT FILTERED through The USA Corporate M$M Press like ONLY the USA populace receives, i.e., state sponsored propaganda and disinformation.

Travel overseas and note how frightened The World Community is: Of The USA's War Machine. :scared:

[Aviation Pro]

9. The Good Dotore Frist....

...should try training up for water-boarding. It would be interesting to see how long it would take him to break (my guess, less than five seconds).

[niceypoo]

10. So now they openly call it "torture"?

Good, I hope they shout it from the rooftops.

[Stephanie]

28. i paraphrase

will check for transcript

[ananda]

12. Not if we don't use them, dummy!

It's illegal and against all international conventions.

[tsuki]

13. In answer to your question, NO. nt

[rustydog]

14. You FUCK, you diagnose people via video and maintain you

are a doctor. You took a hippocratic oath, not hypocrite you dumb fuck!
Let me tell you that I'm going to pull your finger nails out one by one until you tell me what I need to know.
How in the hell, doctor dumb fuck, are you going to prepare yourself for the unbearable pain. I'm going to tell you you won't die from it, but I'm going to waterboard you. it works fabulously! you will tell me what I want to know. not what YOU know, What I WANT TO KNOW.

You are eerily reminiscent of another doctor in history; mengele. Why don't you just go away you worthless excuse for a doctor, man, human being?

[mwb970]

15. Frist is a slimy, sleazy piece of crap.

I'm watching him now with Stephanopolous. Unbelievable. What an awful jerk.

Frist, Delay, Macaca, Katherine Harris - what on earth did America do to deserve such awful politicians? Do ordinary Republicans admire these foolish, racist criminals? What is going on in this country?

[rustydog]

22. The sad thing is Republicans since the late 70's

Haven't given a FUCK about America, her condition or her future. They care only about winning. Period.
they care about a class society and do not care if the people on welfare die from hunger, or whatever.

We are the dregs of THEIR society and we are expendable. we produce the automobiles,we bag the groceries, we save the their lives in for-profit hospitals, we pay taxes so they don't have to and we die in Iraq so their children don't have to.

[jellybeancurse]

16. I love how the arguement is not about IF we should have torture

BUT WHAT KINDS OF TORTURE. Excuse me while I go vomit. :puke:

[Solly Mack]

18. Exactly! I'm listening to McCain right this minute

and he's explaining how "severe" pain is worse than "serious" pain as a difference in what is and isn't torture

and then there's the consideration if it's prolonged or not...so how long you suffer in pain is a determining factor in if it's a crime or not

America is admitting it tortures...that's been established. America tortures...America is now just defining what torture is acceptable

How fucking sick is that?

[spanone]

20. Parsing words to TORTURE PEOPLE. Welcome to America Bush*style.

We are not the Nation we thought we were anymore.

[jellybeancurse]

24. How do you quantify "severe" and "serious"?

Short or long pain? So is it short pain if you slap someone? How about if you slap them repeatedly for 4 hours, is that torture? OR even better use a cattle prod. The effect is felt instantly, its not "serious" because the cattle seem to survive.

Read article 17 of the Geneva Convention. All this stuff is just evil, illegal, and barbaric.

[Solly Mack]

25. You should have heard him...it was unreal

He was actually claiming "pain" is only torture if it is severe instead of serious

and then he couldn't give examples...said he didn't know the techniques so he couldn't comment on how that works

then he said Bush wouldn't do anything against the "compromise" and if he did, they would deal with it

[jellybeancurse]

26. Wait a second...

He actually said he did not know the techniques used, but still claimed that it was "severe" and not "serious"? How do you know if you don't even know what they are doing!?

You've got to be kidding me. This coming from a guy supposedly tortured in Vietnam! When did his soul evacuate his body

[Solly Mack]

27. Exactly! I'm not kidding and when asked him about his experience

He just shrugged it off...saying he can't say if his experience compares to torture now since he didn't know what the techniques were and if what happened to him would fall under "serious" or "severe" under the new guidelines...so he really couldn't comment

Now, if making him stand in a stress position for 2 days isn't torture now, then it wasn't torture then..so McCain, by his own admission, was never tortured and has been lying about that for years.

Or he's lying now

I think he's lying now

[WinkyDink]

31. So sudden death is A-OK! KEWL!

[Solly Mack]

34. basically

:(

[Subdivisions]

17. Soooo...he actually said the word "torture"?

[Stephanie]

35. heres what he said in response to whether warterboarding etc wd be allowed

transcribed:

"If we give the playbook to the enemy, to the terrorists themselves, they'll simply train themselves to resist those techniques.

I'm not going to comment on techniques, it helps the terrorists who want to come and assassinate us."

video here: http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/

[dogday]

19. Where did he get his MD from? School of Stupid?

jeez, I bet if they train hard enough, they would not feel a light rod up the ass... right? :sarcasm:

[TankLV]

21. I thought it was the PICTURES of the TORTURE that would cause us more

damage, heaven's not the actual ACT of TORTURE!

[alfredo]

23. We must insist Frist agree to having these techniques done to him

so he will know what is torture and what isn't. I would love to see Frist submit to water boarding.

I think we should insist that supporters (in his administration and congress) of bush's torture techniques submit to them to see if they are or are not torture.

[BentleyJD]

29. Frist is a prime example

of the AMA not monitoring thier members.
The American Psychology Association has said it's members cannot take part in torture.
This fool has no credentials as far as "doing no harm."
Lift his medical license immediatley
take care
tony and wonder guidedog dietrich

[WinkyDink]

30. Your question IS rhetorical, I trust?

[spanone]

32. K&R

[area51]

33. FRIST: If we discuss torture techniques enemy will TRAIIN to RESIST them

I see cat-killer, anti-patient Dr. Frist is trying for the Josef Mengele award.

Q: "Is it possible to be a both a Republican and a human being?"

A: No.

[Bluerthanblue]

36. like we train our troops- ? what a sad evil world we've

helped create.

May Frist have to sincerly "feel thier pain"- along with all the other politicians who justify shit in the name of 'security'.

As he sows, he MUST reap- someday- someday.

[leftchick]

37. apparently the same sickness affects both parties

Have you seen any Democrats denouncing torture today?

[Stephanie]

38. I'm sure my senator is all for it.

So far she's supported the war, the occupation, Israel's bombardment of Lebanon, the use of cluster bombs - I'm sure torture is right up her alley.

[leftchick]

41. SHAME on every fucking democrat who does not denounce this!!!

:puke:

You are right of course. hillary is one of the WORST! :puke:

[ShortnFiery]

39. Bill "depraved cat killer" Frist has no moral compass. :( eom

[cynatnite]

42. I guess the enemy doesn't have internet access...

where they can get 51.4 million hits on the subject. :sarcasm:
