Waterboarding - American Torture?

http://ekbtv.blogspot.com/
Waterboarding is a torture technique that simulates drowning in a controlled environment. It consists of immobilizing an individual on his or her back, with the head inclined downward, and pouring water over the face[1] to force the inhalation of water into the lungs.[2] Waterboarding has been used to obtain information, coerce confessions, punish, and intimidate. In contrast to merely submerging the head, waterboarding elicits the gag reflex,[3] and can make the subject believe death is imminent. Waterboarding's use as a method of torture or means to support interrogation is based on its ability to cause extreme mental distress while possibly creating no lasting physical damage to the subject. The psychological effects on victims of waterboarding can last long after the procedure.[4] Although waterboarding in cases can leave no lasting physical damage, it carries the real risks of extreme pain, damage to the lungs, brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation, injuries as a result of struggling against restraints (including broken bones), and even death.[5]

The use of torture has no informative use what so ever!

The only thing it does is satisfying a vindictive nation.

LOL bunch of liberal fucking pussies...someone attacks US soil (and British, and an Australian hot spot for tourists) and you want to pamper them and buy them a mansion in the Caribbean. I say peel the skin from their fucking body till they talk. Eye for an eye.

I'd be looking to China for a human rights situation to make a fuss over, for over 60 years nothing has been done about the Genocide of Tibetans but boo fuckity hoo some towel head gets water boarded and its the end of the world.

@hhn1000 everyday our civil rights and civil liberties are being trashed everyday. and the Pres. and ect. memorize and focus on our constitution not to help us, but to corner us.. beat us

[DDaddySnyder]

@hhn1000 stupidity is a disease my friend and you have it... along with so many others. Do you not realize that we have no control, that dem. and rep. are one in the same? we are in an everlasting struggle for freedom, and our constitution is the target. you vote one way, or for both, and your just another puppet.

why is the supposed 'news report' a computer voice? Must be a democrat hiding behind his mothers skirts again. EKB TV - Ernest Knows Best TV

@hhn1000 How about we waterboard and torture you? You might provide us with vital information or you might not but we're not clairvoyant enough to know in advance, otherwise we wouldn't need to torture you to begin with. So let's just violate your human rights just in case. Oh and don't worry about the message it may send to other countries or the risk it puts our soldiers in, the Bush administration never cared about them anyway.

@sobriquet1999 I dont aspire to be an American, but please go on and losing war. Its not my country, its not my army and its not my taxmoney, but still, im more concerned about your countrys lack of performance than you are.

So i guess this discussion is leading nowere.

Good luck, anyway.

[sobriquet1999]

@aon10003 If you were an American you would be deeply disturbed? Well on that at least we agree, if YOU were an American I would be deeply disturbed as well.

[aon10003]

@sobriquet1999 Seriously. You have run a war so badly that 1000 enemies in afg and 1000 enemies in iraq has ruined the richest nation in the world and you claim that you are successful. If i were american i would be deeply disturbed by the way this war is run and i would question ewerything you did. But if you think youre succesful then its only to gratulate you.
