Anyone know or trust Mancow?

They were castrating pre-teen boys to maintain their singing voices...

The Catholic Church probably were histories greatest experts on torture, perhaps we can outsource some work to them:sifone:

If I remember correctly they tortured people for no particular reason for over 350 years and only officially stopped in the mid 1800's.

Just one more reason I'm an atheist.

So, are you still convinced?

Cheap publicity stunt. Waterboarding a couple of known terrorist killers is the least of our worries. The current controlling party and administration has already spent more than the previous 40+ administrations combined. We are in for a fun ride. Enjoy boating while you can!

Would it be ironic for me to say "amen"?

Hey, the Liberals were crying about armageddon when Bush took over. Now the Conservatives are doing the same. Life will go on. We just have to adjust and make money on a new playing field.

There's a giant gulf between believing in a higher power and associating yourself with an organized religion.

Some how- no matter how "uncomfortable" waterboarding may be- it doesn't look nearly as intimidating as getting my head sawed off with a sword

Don't bring common sense into this Mark.

I agree that what our opponent does should not be the standard for what we do in opposition. But I'll maintain that bright lights/loud music/uncomfortable physical positions/emotional intimidation and also waterboarding are not unconsionable torture techniques. Especially in comparison to the myriad of physically-damaging real tortures that are available. The emotional consequences of waterboarding pale in comparison to those of the average combat soldier. These are people that suffer serial near-death experiences while watching those that serve with them not be so fortunate to survive those experiences unscathed- if at all.

Good point.

So very true
