Torture Memos: Waterboarding

https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?i=241837&c=single&cl=20525
#109! For this song, I took language directly from the torture memos. Lyrics below.

the detainee is lying on a gurney
that's inclined at an angle: 10 to 15 degrees
a cloth is placed over the detainee's face
cold water is poured on the cloth

the wet cloth creates
a barrier through which
it is difficult or in some cases not possible
for the detainee to breathe

if the detainee
makes an effort to defeat the technique
by twisting his head to the side and breathing
out the corner of his mouth
the interrogator may cup his hands around
the detainees nose and mouth
in which case it would not be posible for him to breathe!

As we explained
in the Section 2340A Memorandum,
"pain and suffering"
(as used in Section 2340)
is best understood as a single concept,
not distinct concepts
of "pain" as distinguished from "suffering"...

The waterboard,
which inflicts no pain or actual harm whatsoever,
does not, in our view inflict "severe pain or suffering".
Even if one were to parse the statute more finely
to treat "suffering" as a distinct concept,
the waterboard could not be said to inflict severe sufering.

The waterboard is simply a controlled acute episode, lacking the connotation of a protracted period of time generally given to suffering.

WATERBOARDING is TORTURE!!! Dumbass, don't believe me? Then why don't you try it?!? This guy sucks

[therockcookiebottom]

@TheTimmayProductions Um, the song is AGAINST torture. You didn't get that?

It is not only the constitution but the Geneva conventions and the rules of armed conflict that apply. For those that argue "The constitution applies to American citizens only" American citizens are doing the waterboarding and the constitution applies to them. Two wrongs do not make anything right.

@fcstech fucking hippie it saves American lives for the price of suffering from 1 person who dedicates their life to destroying others lives

Have caught a few of your video's and I think for the most part they are very excellent!!

I like the more serious ones with political overtones. Keep up the good work , and I haven't seen a list of what you deem the better of your work.

LOL people need to get a grip. This waterboarding malarkey is used to train navy seals. I wonder how many people have been allowed to die from waterboarding, when in comparison to the amount of people who have died as a direct result of terrorist acts?

If waterboarding one guy for 20seconds and him coming out of the other end alive is what it takes to potentially save hundreds of lives, I say do it.
