Oh My. Can Waterboarding Be Far Behind?

He had been missing for several minutes. I checked everywhere, but the gates were all shut, the doors that needed locking were locked.Finally I saw it. Monkey Boy's closed bedroom door. Worse, I heard an angelic voice call out from within: "Ok! Ki-yee cack!"This couldn't be good.It was even worse than I imagined. I really feel I should mention here than his room was in that state as he had removed half of the clothing from his drawers in order to provide room for his "guest". My housekeeping leaves a lot to be desired . . . but I'm not THAT BAD.I am of the opinion that the idiot cat not only enjoys this, but seeks out this treatment from the Monkey Butt. I am not a cat person. I used to be, until I came to the realization that cats resulted in constriction of my bronchial tubes and then puffing on my inhalers, thereby inhibiting my ability to smoke.The Cat is Mr. Honeybell's. On occasion The Cat and I have had fleeting bonding moments, but on the whole he's an asshole...

Waterboarding: il video shock denuncia di Amnesty International

L'acqua che scende dall'alto è limpida. Un fiotto compatto. Inesorabile. Entra nella gola, stimola la faringe e il prigioniero ha la netta sensazione di annegare. A questo punto, non gli resta che implorare pietà. «Il terrore di morire - spiegano gli esperti - porta quasi immediatamente a chiedere che il trattamento abbia termine». Si chiama «waterboarding» (o annegamento simulato) ed è una delle tecniche più dure utilizzate negli interrogatori contro i presunti terroristi di Al Qaeda. Adesso, «quello che la Cia non vuol far vedere», è sul web: un video choc realizzato da Amnesty International che racconta in pochi secondi quello che accade in certe prigioni americane.

Bush to Veto Waterboarding Bill
2008-03-10 16:13:00
So you see, he’s still good for something. Senator Kennedy manages to get things 180 degrees bass-ackward with surgical-precision accuracy once again. Had his talent been appreciated earlier, Mary Jo might still be alive today. “President Bush’s veto will be one of the most shameful acts of his presidency,” Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said in a statement Friday. “Unless Congress overrides the veto, it will go down in history as a flagrant insult to the rule of law and a serious stain on the good name of America in the eyes of the world.” Yes by all means Ted, let’s just feed the terrorists three hot meals a day and let ‘em have their naps like little kids in Kindergarten. Let’s just wait for them to tell us something out of the goodness of their hearts. Most shameful act of his presidency…what a laugh. From what I can remember, President Bush’s approval ratings dropped like a rock after he started making nice-nice with you, you pompous blowhard. The pattern ...

Bush Vetoes supposed “waterboarding” bill
2008-03-08 19:03:00
The President, today, by way of the BitsBlog Newsroom: Unfortunately, Congress recently sent me an intelligence authorization bill that would diminish these vital tools. So today, I vetoed it. And here is why: The bill Congress sent me would take away one of the most valuable tools in the war on terror — the CIA program to detain and question key terrorist leaders and operatives. This program has produced critical intelligence that has helped us prevent a number of attacks. The program helped us stop a plot to strike a U.S. Marine camp in Djibouti, a planned attack on the U.S. consulate in Karachi, a plot to hijack a passenger plane and fly it into Library Tower in Los Angeles, and a plot to crash passenger planes into Heathrow Airport or buildings in downtown London. And it has helped us understand al Qaida’s structure and financing and communications and logistics. Were it not for this program, our intelligence community believes that al Qaida and its allies would have...

Waterboarding: The Latest Fad To Sweep The U.S.
2008-03-04 15:17:00
The Army has been forbidden to use waterboarding to get vital intel from enemy combatants, but Americans are apparently using the interrogation – some would say torture – technique on each other for reasons ranging from curiosity to survival training:  † Chad Hudgens, a former salesman for motivational coaching firm Prosper, Inc., has filed a suit against the company alleging that his supervisor, Joshua Christopherson, waterboarded him “to demonstrate that [the sales team] should work as hard on sales as the employee had worked to breathe,” reports The Salt Lake City Tribune.  † Peace Corps volunteer Jean-Pierre Larroque had his friends drape a towel over his face and pour a two-liter Coke bottle with water on the towel. The Wall Street Journal reports:    Larroque remembers feeling blind panic as his air supply ran out. Willingly inducing similar feelings in another human being would be torture, he believes.  “This leaves no mark, no trace. It’s almost...

Waterboarding is Just Very Unpleasant . . . Right?
2008-02-27 06:28:00
by Robert Weitzel This government does not torture. — George W. Bush All right! Waterboarding is a very unpleasant experience, which is sometimes fatal. I can also imagine that a small percentage of root canals are fatal, but no one routinely refers to them as torture—just very unpleasant. That said, if I were grabbed off the street by five guys in ski masks who jabbed a hypodermic in my neck, threw me in the back of a van, striped me to gooseflesh, gave me an enema and jammed a wad of cotton where only a proctoscope belongs, forced me into diapers and an orange jumpsuit, plugged my ears, duck-taped my eyes and put a sack over my head, shackled me in a stress position to the cold, aluminum deck of an unheated cargo plane for 15 hours, strapped me in a chair at some black dental site in Karachi and commenced the root canal in a shower of Punjabi expletives . . . then okay, maybe taken in toto I’d consider that experience torture. On February 13 the Senate narrowly passed—on a...
Torture in 60s South Shows Error of Waterboarding
2008-02-23 15:46:00
Tom Gardner: When I read about the increasing acceptance of waterboarding as a form of torture, I vividly recall how in 1968 members of the Memphis Police Department believed I could tell them information about civil rights insurgents arriving to create havoc. Forty years later I still hide my serrated scars.I was 14 years old and forgot I was a black boy living in racist America and heading for the devil's den of discrimination....Who were these people I supposedly knew who were ready to disrupt the city's infrastructure? My wild eyes could only register pain as the large men kicked, punched and beat me with nightsticks because I was unable to speak coherently between my sobs of sorrow and moans for my mother....Like relentless Stalinists, the policemen gave me a few hard, calculated kicks with steel-toed boots in my back and ribs for making them exhausted from their beating. I promised them the names of protesters, when they were coming, and what they were driving. I could h...

The Daily Brushback: a question about waterboarding?
2008-02-15 19:20:00
Today’s question is for three of our nation’s prominent leaders: President George W. Bush, Sen. Joe Lieberman and Sen. John McCain. Q: Mr. President, Sen. McCain, Sen. Lieberman, you’ve all recently made clear your support for waterboarding as an interrogation technique. Since, in your estimation, waterboarding is a legal, effective and harmless tool, is it therefore your belief that it would be acceptable and appropriate for enemy nations and organizations to waterboard captured American servicemen and women? If so, can you explain how this stance is consistent with your frequently stated “support” for our nation’s troops?
Torturer-in-Chief to veto bill on waterboarding
2008-02-15 01:13:00
Legal expert says Democrats don't have the guts to do their constitutional duty President George Bush is certainly earning his nickname of ?Torturer-in- Chief? with announced plans to veto a bill that would expressly forbid the intelligence agencies from engaging in extreme forms of interrogation, including waterboarding. Bush claims it would prevent the lawful interrogation of terror suspects. Bush hasn?t ruled out the possibility that waterboarding will be used again in the future. Shortly after I published the opinion piece, Guantanamo is not Nuremburg, I had the opportunity to speak with Ed Spannaus and asked him if George Bush wants to be impeached, or is he just so confident that the Democrats haven?t got the stomach for an impeachment battle in an election year. ?I think you put your finger on it,?

Sneer?meister Cheney Defends Waterboarding Torture: Let's Torture Him Inste
2008-02-08 00:34:00
Sure, it's Illegal to perform waterboarding on a victim in the USA, but okay if you are part of the CIA Anti-terrorism program. Seasoned professionals only, we are assured, are allowed to administer the simulated drowning torture. (Now just how did those professionals get their training? On monkeys? On each other?)Sneer-meister Cheney defends the treatment, admittedly used against the "mastermind of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks," Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. Cheney? Hello? We know YOU masterminded the attacks and we all know that you were not subjected to this torture that you refuse to even name, instead referring to it as "?a tougher program, for tougher customers.? Ewww.Now back to Khalid, who confessed to masterminding 9/11 "from soup to nuts," to paraphrase, was probably in bed with Cheney and the Neo-cons with the whole operation. He placed the explosives that brought down the towers. He helped the Bin Laden family escape, etc. Not in the way most of us would imagine m...

Waterboarding Controversy As We Near Fifth Year Of Iraq War
2008-02-07 23:48:00
It is hard to believe that the Iraq War has been going on for almost five years now (it will be five years on March 18th, 2008). It seems like just yesterday when we were watching almost 3 million people protesting the U.S. invasion before the fact in Rome, Italy.

CIA says used waterboarding three times
2008-02-06 00:22:00
The CIA on three occasions shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks used a widely condemned interrogation technique known as waterboarding, CIA Director Michael Hayden told Congress on Tuesday. "Waterboarding has been used on only three detainees," Hayden told the Senate Intelligence Committee, publicly specifying the number of subjects and naming them for the first time, as Congress considers banning the technique.Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri" href="http://www.reuters.com/ar-ticle/latestCrisis/idUSN0517815-1">Those subjected to waterboarding were al Qaeda suspects Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, Hayden said.   Itwas used then because of concerns of imminent catastrophic attacks on the United States and because authorities had limited knowledge of al Qaeda. Ok, I'll admit it, I'm going to have a pretty unpopular opinion on this matter.  But I owe you all the truth about what I think and feel, so I'd rather be honest and accept the h...
