Dear Mr. Cheney "Do you think we ought to be torturing people?"
As it has been proven many, many times, torture is NOT an effective way to gain information.

We, as a developed people should not resort to medieval torture. It's a wonder you didn't make the CYA use ducking stools (that were used for witches.) Your way of thinking is no different than a Nazi general under Hitler. If you had your way, I would think you would also have concentration camps by now if your party had won in 2006 and 2008.

What's with you? One hears this empty whining about China, Korea, S. America and their human rights violation but we have been no better! America, the land of freedom of speech! Your freedom was taking away people's rights, lying to them, torture and spying?

Now you have the audacity to worry that releasing THE MEMOS will somehow 'bare all' to the enemy! You are the enemy within the gates, Mr Cheney. all this is a figment of your imagination and your warped mind. The CYA are there to do a job. They gain intelligence. they didn't need your interfering self in the first place. I just hope Panetta and Obama can rid of the dark side of operations as soon as possible and get on with the real job they are paid to do.

On ya bike Cheney, go back to shooting your ducks!

1. According to Dickwad, Obama held back the memo's that talk
about how successful Cheney's torture program was. He wants those released too, because they prove that the heinous, immoral, inhuman torture policies were wonderful tools to use in the war on whatever they have a war on today.

2. If it was so effective, why did they have to do it 183 times to the same guy?
You would think that water boarding, being an effective way to get to the truth, would only have to be done once.

Yet, they had to waterboard the same guy 183 times? Did the answer change every time? which of the 183 times did the guy tell the truth?

3. That's not funny but I laughed anyway
"Hmmm I think on number 137 he might have let something slip... " They are some sick fucks.

5. If you waterboard him even twice and he contradicts himself, you're fucked
I mean the guy is fucked anyway, but you now have contradictory answers using a technique "guaranteed" to obtain the truth.

Now what?

:shrug:
