Sigh...arguing against reality is a tough sell unless you're a preacher, eh. The careful reader would have noted that I haven't expressed any view as to whether waterboarding has produced useful information. I have simply observed that trying to stick the generic label "torture" on the procedure doesn't advance the ball toward resolving the fact question. Unfortunately there seem to be few careful readers present. Else I wouldn't have to provide the Cliff Notes. Waterboarding was prosecuted as torture and as a war crime by the United States Government. The "Guvmint" has already established that it's torture, Dave. And, it's well-documented that it doesn't work. Well, it does work, but not at all in the way intended. You're right! It works against those who do the torturing. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Hey Neal, why don't you regale us again with how you tried that jaywalking case? It was a moving traffic violation - not jaywalking. I could have gotten POINTS on my DL had I been found guilty. It was a serious matter and I prevailed via my superior understanding of traffic statutes. Even the judge who was trying his best to side with the Sheriff could find no way to do so without being in violation of his oath to uphold the law. Too bad YOU weren't council for the State. Your ass would have been grass, too. Wilbur Cecil Hubbard |

Ask somebody the way to one of those places where they sell books, magazines and newspapers, and you can look. I know the way to K-Mart. I get batteries replaced for free there regularly. But the magazine rack is pathetic. It's gotten completely full of women's and teenybopper magazines in the last several years. It's really difficult to find a man's magazine such as Field and Stream or even a sailing magazine there. Wilbur Cecil Hubbard |

You need to take a look at something beyond those left wing blogs, Not At All. If you had done so you would have discovered that your courageous Congress after dithering for several years dealt with the issue like a hot potato, finally deciding in 2006 to provide retroactive legal protection to those U.S. personnel who engaged in or directed the activity. I will credit Obama with the political guts to step up to the plate and say that if a few thousand or a few hundred thousand Americans get killed as a result of prohibiting the activity, he takes responsibility for that result. It's a fact... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...201170_pf.html -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
