Maybe he told her to go back and actually read the words of Geneva Convention, and not the NYT cliff notes.

I am surprised that you, of all people, are -- like Bush -- pretending that we don't "actually" torture people. I would have thought that you'd be proud of it, instead of pretending we aren't doing it.

Statutes for Dummies
 

Do you think Bush has ever bothered to read the Geneva Convention? Do you think he cares what it says?

Oh yes. The "belly slap" and the waterboard.

The horror. The. Horror.

There we go -- that's the Slave we know and love. Stop pretending that we don't torture people, and stand up for the sort of brutality you want to see.

If said this before. I'll say it again now. I'll probably need to say it again in the future.


You'd have a lot more support both on this Board and in the public as a whole for a universal ban of "torture" when and if the left would stop being a bunch of naifs, sissies and/or weasels and stop branding things that are clearly not torture as "Torture".

What's the matter with Georgia?
 

Absolutely, especially w/r/t the death penalty.

What does constitute torture, in your eyes? Need it result in death? Is loss of a limb sufficient? Removal of fingernails (via pliers, etc.)? Induced hypothermia?

Where's the line and does it move depending on the subject?

If the Khmer Rouge did it, how bad could it be?

They were ostensibly Communist, so the Left didn't really care.

How quickly you pass from defending torture to what interests you even more, attacking the left.

Idiots on parade
 

Since the left sees fit to proclaim over and over again that anything less than 3 meals a day - perhaps a Taco Bell fourthmeal on weekends? - and a stay at Camp Cupcake is "torture", why shouldn't they be attacked?

Waterboard the Democrats
 

Boy, you talk about the left being soft little sissy girls and look at you! Tell it to them straight you soft-bellied little reptile - those unAmerican Yankees deserve nothing less than a good waterboarding, and if they want to call that torture, well, then I say we really give them some real, old fashioned Southern style "hospitality" and see what they say.

These no-good do-gooders remind me of that Lincoln fellow and his complaints about good Southern Gentlemen.

If you had a good defense for torture, you wouldn't stoop to this crap.

good news
 

• ATLANTA — A man convicted of killing a police officer won a reprieve a day before his scheduled execution, after his lawyers argued that several witnesses had recanted or changed their testimony.
  
  The state Board of Pardons and Paroles on Monday granted a stay of execution of up to 90 days to Troy Davis, 38, who was convicted of killing a Savannah police officer in 1989.
  
  He had faced a Tuesday execution date before the board's decision, which came after less than an hour of deliberation. The stay means the execution will be on hold while the board weighs the evidence presented as part of Davis' request for clemency. The board must rule by Oct. 14.
