They say it isn't torture. Then have them try it out! McCain says it is torture!

John McCain hits GOP hopefuls over waterboarding - - CBS News

Republican Sen. John McCain criticized statements by some of the 2012 Republican nominees for president Monday, tweeting, "Very disappointed by statements at SC GOP debate supporting waterboarding. Waterboarding is torture."

McCain, the 2008 GOP presidential nominee who was tortured while he was a prisoner of war, was referencing comments at the CBS News/National Journal debate on Nov. 12, when GOP candidates Herman Cain and Michele Bachmann stated that they were in favor of using waterboarding.

"I don't see it as torture. I see it as an enhanced interrogation technique," Cain said

What do they have to lose? Remember it is just interrogation! lol

He tried it, lasted a couple of seconds before coming to the realization that it is torture.

Don't forget about Rick Santorum who just flat out loves the idea of death and torture.

Yeah, the more Santorum speaks, the more afraid of him I become.

I don't see how anyone could not think it is torture. When they said that I was baffled.

Not wanting to torture people doesn't make you weak or a liberal.

Waterboarding is:

Torture, which is ineffectual. Prisoners will tell you whatever they think you want to hear just to make it stop.

Wrong. Immoral. Unethical.

Sets a fine example for an enemy who captures our guys. Thanks for giving them this green light.

Wrong. Immoral. Unethical.

Did I mention wrong? And these two fine candidates for PotUS think it's just fine. They make me sick.
