The solution to the question of Waterboarding;
I'm all for this. It's the best single solution I can think of.

"Absolutely anybody that states 'Waterboarding is not torture' should be Waterboarded until they change their minds."


Anyone think there should be a time limit on that?

1. Hook Shrub up, and ask him if we use torture in America?

But don't wait for him to tell the truth ,that might kill him and his legacy will be his TORTURE.

6. Your example in the video isn't even close.
The subject is horizontal, not negatively reclined. The introduction of water does not show a gag reflex in the subject.

It's worse than that.

3. They can't claim it's torture
since by their own definition it ain't. I say waterboard all the reluctant witnesses at the Congressional hearings. Since they claim it's not torture they shouldn't have any objections-should they?

4. Seems like a reasonable way to help them prove their point. If you don't float you're not a witch.

5. I think a reporter should be waterboarded the same way
they are tasered when they give demonstrations on news shows. "Hey Mom, look at the funny reporter gasping for air." "Yep, I saw that on YouTube. It was funny how he almost died." :dem:
