Right, we are the bad guys. Forget all the information that has saved peoples lives through waterboarding. We hurt there feelings, and thats far more important. One day yelling at your kids is going to be torture. |
So what would it take for us to be the bad guy?
What information have we obtained that has saved people's lives through waterboarding? I would love for you to point to specific information that has saved people's lives.
And you didn't even address the fact that we may have endangered more people's lives and encouraged more terrorists attacks by waterboarding in the first place. This is one of the most effective ways to fuel terrorists propaganda, by giving them actual evidence that America's motives and moral resolve are highly questionable.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
