TALK PLEASE ABOUT WATERBOARDING OUR OWN USA CHILDREN AS "TRAINING"TO BECOME SPY-MOST DIE-see aaron mccollum, duncan o'finioan, obrien-cia child torture include waterboarding near death at 4 y o child-to create dissociation (amnesia) which can be use in a spy by cia/military assignments(so spy cant divulge mission under torture bc need key word or sound to access the memory)-also so spy or soldier cant refuse the work bc they obey triggers-theyre reflex robots(hypnotized/programmed under torture)

Dear MoveOn you are hypocrites. Why aren't you decrying Obama now that he has gone back on his word on gitmo?

Who cares if terrorists get tortured! They'd cut any americans head off if they got the chance too. I say do whatever it takes to get one to talk.

Why don't you decide if you have a functioning brain? Oh wait, you don't have one-too bad/so sad.

Where is the benefit from being a GOP bum-boy and Faux Noise watcher?

[Neville6000]

He's just another right-wing neocon dittohead Keyboard Kommando who wouldn't last a day in Iraq or Afghanistan, or in basic training before he washed out-don't mind him.

[Neville6000]

Why should I or anybody else care to hear from you and morons like you? Obviously your mommy didn't wash you as good enough when you were a baby, so now the shit's gotten crusty and hard and you're nasty all the time. I'd suggest cleaning it up some more, sanctorum boy.

Jay Bagwell 's video must be shown everywhere! This must be kept in the archives and run every time Cheney promotes his daughter by saying torture is right. Why would any TV network ever show Cheney touting torture without showing this video right afterward? Thank you Jay Bagwell! You say it better than anyone else I've seen. TV networks, keep this video and show it over and over! show it so many times that Americans can quote it.

He didn't even mention the fact that torture is ineffective at producing quality intelligence. Getting to know the detainee and building a relationship of trust does that (but don't take my word for it, ask some of the interrogators who know this.) Yet the myth persists that only torturing our enemies will keep us safe. Pathetic.

The only time in recent history when Gun rights, 2nd amendment, were violated was under GW during Katrina.

Dispute that fact!!!!!!!!
