@failures art,
You don't know they haven't been effective. There sure are a lot of people running around the USA saying they did work. They are in a position to know. You aren't. Since you are willing to lie to make your point, I don't see why your pals would hesitate to lie also.

@raprap,
So I'm supposed to change my opinion because some idiot named "Mancow" says waterboarding is torture? That's funny.

@Renaldo Dubois,
Am I to take someone named Murdock seriously?

@raprap,
I never said you had to take Murdoch seriously. Murdoch isn't the issue. Waterboarding is the issue. A lot of people who know a lot more than either of us are saying it worked. You can't accept that. Looks like you have a problem and it has nothing to do with Murdoch.

Interesting response.

How many people from A2K do you know, RD?
And how many of those who say that it worked do you know?

@Renaldo Dubois,
Waterboarding is torture. Torture is a piss poor method of determining factual information as the tortured will generally tell the torturer what they want to know.

Real intelligence requires work, only the lazy and the stupid resort to torture as intelligence gathering. That is unless the interrogator is a psychopath--

BTW the mathematics of game theory is far more effective than coercion under physical threat--ask any cop.

None of you have access to the info. The head of the CIA does and he said enhanced interrogation worked. If he's lying, now is the time to show us.

@raprap,
Waterboarding isn't torture and you will have to live with the fact that millions of Americans disagree with you.

Wiki is not a scholarly source.

@Renaldo Dubois,
I would consider the source and consider two options;

The head of the CIA is a reasonable man and rationalizes an unreasonable act as conscious protection.

The head of the CIA is a political animal and makes statements to protect his politics.

I personally thank gawd that waterboarding was discontinued eight years ago when it came to the attention of the American people. It reaffirms my faith in the American people--

Why is waterboarding considered torture and shooting an unarmed man in the face isn't?

@Renaldo Dubois,
Changing the subject again, boobie. Typical of you.

All right--if it was a cop, I would consider it unreasonable to shoot an unarmed suspect. But seal team 6 aren't cops, they're soldiers and as such they were trained as soldiers and given defined 'rules of engagement' for the mission.

They were expressly instructed that any male was to be treated as hostile unless naked. Osama wasn't naked, he was hostile and immediately rendered ineffectual.

BTW clothing was considered a mask for a potential suicide bomb and since women have also been suicide bombers I consider it amazing that Osama's youngest wife survived.

Then you disagree with our own armed forces who receive waterboarding as training on torture resistance?

One more thing. When you replied about abortion you said you would fight the government if they try to legislate your body. Abortion isn't about your "body'. It's about the human being inside your "body". I think you have a few cells in your noggin that are losing power.

Thank you for your opinion, however, the mother's body is most definitely a part of pregnancy. Her physiology literally changes. That means she is custodian of the rights of the unborn, and may choose as she sees fit for her. Between the standard of viability, and our current laws, the is a balance of interests of the woman, then unborn, and the state.

You have not answered my questions about you being taken captive and waterboarded/tortured. If it is effective, you must be admitting, that you'd ultimately give up the information that would ultimately harm or kill your loved ones. So which is it?

No more than those who say it did not. Your point?

Except they aren't. The people in the know give the credit to other methods.

I have not lied, and who are my "pals" that you are referring to?
