Wow. This comment is endlessly inane. And just for what purpose do you think the SEALs undergo that treatment for if not to prepare them to survive being TORTURED by exactly those methods if they are ever captured? DUH!

[acedagaiin]

bush & his cronies are criminals driven only by greed, their nwo agenda is exposed, They'll be shitting themselves right about now, americans need to get together & demand justice to take its course swiftly before they fake more attacks.

Step back look at the whole picture, in reality they are no more than a handfull of inbred lizards. Its not Iran you need to be afraid of ..or venezula.. or any other country

A million man march on washington will be a good start.. before november 11

PEACE.

Accountability is a good word ,its a good thing to really think about yesterday,last year.It is always too late when its time to be accountable.So, why is it taking so long for the U.N. to prosecute George Bush in the WORLD COURT? And yes we are afraid as americans the wages of the past will come.And our children may be the ones paying.

[SamariaTV]

Start with SLAVERY.

The main issue is that corps want free labor. They do not want to pay wages people can live on. They don't want to insure their work force through proper health care. They are doing just as they did during slavery - work the life out of us. To them, we are all disposable. They want us to work for them, depend on them. They want to control our lives and play god. Christians are riled, or should be, because what is going on is as far from being Christ-like as you can get.

No, It's only insane for people who do not know what the hell they are talking about. We waterboard our SEAL's to mentally toughen them up and so they learn dicipline. Waterboarding is not torture. If it ws the USA would be responisble for the torture of thousands US Soilders. You can have it both ways. It's either torture or it isn't. Oh, by the way. Our enemies don't waterboard their captives. They cut off their heads. You can't prepare for that.

[jookie1234]

Wow, waterboarding and sleep deprivation is torture now adays. Weird! Hey next time you see a NAVY SEAL or a ARMY Ranger or Special Forces Marine, ask them how they like being tortured. Because part of their training they are go through waterboarding and sleep depravation. And When you ask, be ready for a right hook to your head.

[distressed7]

Please. Shut up. This consciousness of yours is ugly. It is what is screwing us up.

As a bookie's kid. As a gangbanger who saw some value in the Hippies of the day. I grew up hearing a few sensible real priests: I figured that it would be better to load boxcars than rise in the ranks of honored whores. Get ready you dumbass libturds and right wing "patriots" of the traditional church veil. You will, if you do not see the average idiot as your next Nazi. Seriously, get ready to have to properly fight your own insurgency. I am sorry to all to a degree, even my enemies. It is true

911 was allowed or orchestrated by the Bush cabinet. And of course you have fight against torture. But the conference and these debates are simply naive. They ask why did you allowed it to happen. The others complain how horrible the Bush policy was. Complaining is futile when social facts steer you like marionettes when ever the leaders wish. Sociologically the right way to from where you are now, is individual reason and empirical fact over all other social authority.
