It is, of course, carefully orchestrated from above to deflect attention away from the growing obviousness of the calamitous Obama administration, and the coming disastrous effects of the incompetence and arrogance of attempting to install such an egregious slate of agenda programs and to incur such massive debts to facilitate said agenda.
But the basic truth of the effectiveness of those so-called "torture" methods remains obscured by their nonsense rhetoric:
"It will be interesting to see if another of these a priori truths turns out to be that torture never 'works.' Or, as Ben Macintyre put it in yesterday’s Times of London ' "24" ' is fictional. So is the idea that torture works.'
Except, of course, when it does work.
But that is, in Mr Macintyre’s view, simply inconceivable. Those who are nowadays popping up to provide instances where — as they believe — such 'torture' as was licensed by the Bush administration did provide life-saving information are simply brushed aside as either mistaken or lying for self-protection — or, perhaps, as right-wing nuts, with all that that status implies of rhetorical and political marginalization."
Exactly.
Dick Cheney called these clowns' bluff a few days ago, when he called for the Obamanation to release ALL the CIA tapes, including the ones that established that the interrogations were effective.
The incessant babblers have a choice.
Insist that your beloved Obamanation release these tapes, or keep your mouths shut FOREVER about this subject.
If you don't, we will make sure you get pounded into the ground on your hypocrisy.
Count on it.

These clowns have no idea what constitutes torture. They go on what they read as to someones opinion who perhaps has taught on the subject of water boarding and other techniques that they wish to qualify as torture but in actuality are no more than psychological mind games. That is not torture. I dare say that none of the usual suspects have every been involved in being water boarded, ever seen someone being water bordered or even talked directly to anyone who has been water boarded or involved in any other advanced technique of interrogation. In other words they don't know what they are talking about so just shut up.
ReplyDeleteI have interviewed numerous individuals who have undergone the training for water boarding interrogation and while I have had many express that it is indeed fearful, I have yet to have interviewed one who would call it torture. I doubt that any of the usual suspects can make that statement. I do and stand by such.
To attempt to compare the water boarding used in other countries to the techniques used by this country is comparing apples to oranges. But then that is what the usual suspects attempt to do and call the results equal.
The only torture here is logic used by the Looney Toon Libthinkers to justify their current babble over their attempt to criminalize political differences.
ReplyDeleteTheir tortured rationale stems from a definition that they alone think they're qualified to define.
