Waterboarding

[Mr.FixIt]

Many of you seem to be staunchly against water boarding, but no one has suggested an a viable or reasonable alternative.

No, I don't have an alternative to this torture.

I think it's all totally barbaric and inhuman.

I mean can you honestly sit there and tell me that you believe that bitch Lindy English and her sadistic cohorts tortured those prisoners for the purpose of: " ...saving my family, my neighbors, my neighborhood, my city...." ?

And, please, don't try to tell that was an unfortunate or isolated incident. Google, Guantanamo Bay or Abu Ghraib and you'll come up with some of the most sicken stories of real life torture you're ever likely to read about. Is it necessary? Or, is it perhaps just a way of venting and acting out some kind of self satisfying revenge?

Oh sure, throw up September 11. I know we're told that torturing of prisoners has only come about in the USA since then, but does this really justify it? Is it really acceptable that while other countries are dealing with a legacy of torture by declaring "Never again!", that so many Americans should quell their guilt by crying "Never before"?
