Senator Macaca on torture: 1, 2, 3.
Edited on Mon Sep-25-06 03:57 PM by BuyingThyme
"I don't want to stop these interrogations. I'm not for torture, I'm not for waterboarding. But some of these techniques have been very helpful to us, whether they are sleep deprivation or whether it's loud music," Allen said.

"I need to be absolutely certain that what the interrogators are doing now — which is completely fine as far as I'm concerned — will not be harmed," Allen said.

To Review:

(1) He's "not for torture" or "waterboarding," but he doesn't want to "stop these interrogations."

(2) He's not "absolutely certain" what the "interrogators" are doing, but he's "completely fine" with it.

And, (3) the "fine" things being done by these interrogators should "not be harmed."

ON EDIT: The media still have him down as undecided.

2. What should interrogators be allowed to do?
Ask nicely and hope for the best? Or more than that?

3. Another one trying to protect the cabal's collective asses
regardless of whether what they've been involved in is illegal or not.

I'm so disgusted with all of them! :grr:

6. So Allen is a torture appeaser?
He wants to appease fascists who employ GESTARO type cruelty and even murder on people that may be guilty of nothing wrong.
