When AMERICANS are waterboarded abroad...

[LynnTheDem]

rightwingnuts won't utter one single peep of outrage.

After all, waterboarding isn't torture anymore.

3. No she doesn't. She's being sarcastic. n/t

[Solly Mack]

2. They'll claim that's why we must water-board....because the "enemy"

doesn't follow the rules/laws

4. this "waterboarding" will fly back into our faces.

6. And releasing the videotape of it happening on the

internets.

Just wait.

7. Hate to say, but I don't think they'd be that kind to our troops.

I think they'd start on toes (i.e. cutting off at the knuckle), move to the fingers, then to the knees, finally settling for some voltage to the nuts. I'm sure what ever they do will leave marks.

5. Do we know what they did to John Walker Lindh?

Padilla is an American citizen, too.

This is just another instance of divide and conquer. They marginalize the victims and the public just moves along.

8. They don't complain when Americans are shot in the head, point blank.

After all, they are "on the wrong side." That is what George Bush Sr. said about the assassination of Ben Linder in Nicaragua.
