The latest Rightwing talking point has got to be the absolutely most ridiculous. What we did to KSM et al wasn't torture because it was done under doctor supervision and by the same people who did the same "non torturous" practices on our military in SERE school.
Are these people serious?
What is most disturbing is that people in the media, like Chris Matthews are asking if this stuff is okay if it works?
I feel like my head is about to explode!!!!
First, let me point out to these geniuses that Doctor Mengele "supervised" tactics for the Reich during WWII. So why the hell did we have Nuremburg trials?
And SERE school training is to teach pilots and special forces how to deal with TORTURE!!! In SERE school you submit to tactics that are TORTURE.
But as to the point Matthews and the other media are asking. The answer is a big fat NO! It doesn't matter if it works or not, TORTURE IS ILLEGAL, AGAINST THE LAW---PERIOD!!! Robbing a bank works if you get away with the money. Does that make it okay?
What the hell is wrong with this country that this is even being debated? If you break the law, you are supposed to be prosecuted. But if we allow anyone in office to rewrite the laws of this country to do whatever they want, then how about we write a law that says if I don't like your politics, I can get you jailed, or better yet, waterboard you until you agree with me?
Why was it again that Saddam Hussein was a bad man?
