What's always bothered me is the gross exaggeration of the risk from terrorists. The whole middle east sh#t show including 9/11 is a minuscule risk to anyone not there.
Anyone that thinks torture is necessary to keep them safe is a spineless moron.

They were lied to" is horsesh#t.
It by "they" you mean the Admnistration (Bush II and Obama) and Congress (Democrats and Republicans) I thoroughly agree. As one CBS reporter put it, the Senate Democrats' CIA report is an attempt to re-write history.
To stir a slightly different pot, at least it appears we were waterboarding our enemies. During the Carter Administration, we were waterboarding our own troops.

When I see the president referred to as "Barry", I know that something worthless is going to follow. 100% accurate every time.

Splash a little water
Anyone who thinks waterboarding is just "splashing a little water" needs to try the following: Lie flat in the bath, take a heavy facecloth, place it on top of your mouth and nose. Slowly pour water onto the cloth. See if you can do this for ten seconds, now imagine you have no control over the process.
Waterboarding is a war crime. We executed Japanese soldiers for waterboarding after WW2. How can we possibly claim to be the "good guys" when the President of the United States authorized and continues to condone the torture of prisoners?

Barry just shoots and kills the terrorists with his Drone army. That's much more humane than waterboarding.
Actually I find nothing wrong with using drones to kill those bastards (bastards being the terrorists), but why is killing them considered better than waterboarding. At least when we torture the sons of bitches we get some useful information. How else did Barry hunt down Osama?

We executed Japanese soldiers for waterboarding after WW2.
We set the standard.
Personally, I think the psychologists who set this all up and got $81 mill for it ought to be executed.
For those of you who think that torture is no different than outright killing, you have no experience of people who survived torture.
Listen to John McCain, whose boots you are not worthy of licking.

In case anyone is wondering, I did a search of the word "stupid" (w/o alternate spellings) written by Werner. So far, 1434 posts.
Carry on...
