Our troops get beheaded and we are supposed to recognize the civil rights of the Islamo-Nazis. No, I’m all for water-boarding, ball-pin hammers, bamboo shoots under the nails and hot coffee on the testicles. Terrorists only understand violence, they will not negotiate, killing us is their main goal and I say do unto them as they do unto you.

DOD does practice waterboarding – during training of our own soldiers.

Before that, they trained with other, more painful (if not as effective) techniques.

If our soldiers voluntarily undergo waterboarding (and they do, all the time), then we sure as hell can use it on illegal combatants – individuals the logic of the Geneva Convention urges us to shoot.

Once these terrorists started their attacks on civilians, they forfeited all rights to not be subject to torture. Why the hell do we insist on applying the constitution to people who are not citizens.

And, international “law” is a joke … as long as they odnt follow it, why should we?

Let us not forget about the Democratic congress’ closed meeting in which they independently defined ’sleep deprivation exceeding 28 hours is torture’

By that definition, my college professors should be imprisoned for crimes against humanity.

So what if both McCain and Obama agree that we did torture prisoners. I’m sure John Rosenthal knows more about this than they do. Who do they think they are?

The Muslim extremists tossed the rulebook out the window when they started attacking American embassies, when they captured American civilians and shot or beheaded them, when they murdered American children by flying them into the sides of buildings.

Use of torture (and I mean REAL torture, not stuff like waterboarding) against captured terrorists and guerrillas is fully justified.

And to hell with the delicate sensibilities of McCain and Obama.

Wow. Good stuff. I admit that I was taken in by it all, and thought that waterboarding was a practice that the DoD not only requested but engaged in.

I’m in a bit of a funk, I think, over just how bad the media’s portrayal of events has been, and exactly how to combat it. Posting this kind of information at PajamasMedia is a good start, but how do we get this information into the wider “public consciousness” (sorry for the collectivist reference, but I think you all know what I mean).

They hurt America by criticizing activities that never took place.

Same thing with climate change. Politicians see opportunity in solving nonexistent problems. As long as they profit from this, we’re going to get more of the same.

Obama ‘admits’ Kenyan birth?
Barack Obama and his campaign doesn’t respond to claims in lawsuit over birth certificate. Attorney Phillip J. Berg to file for summary judgment today.
