'Donald Trump’s comment that he would “bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding.”

Trump is also the person who recently in November said he does not care if torture doesn’t work, because“they deserve it anyway.”


In the words of Denzell....."this is chess, this ain't checkers".......

Of course he's in favor of waterboarding. Of course he tells his fawning admirers he'd do a hell of a lot worse. He thinks it makes him look all macho and tough.

He wasn't all macho and tough when he was telling the draft board that he couldn't serve his country because he had an ouchie on his foot but never mind that....nothing as macho as a chickenhawk.

Oh, and torture, both physical and mental has worked very well for thousands of years. Of that have no doubt.
No it doesn't. It gets people to say what they have to say in order for it to stop. If you insist on torturing them until they share information you want, you may well end up simply torturing innocent people to death for the crime of legitimately not knowing any relevant information.

Meanwhile the real culprits are still on the loose.

The best way to get people to cop up to things is to get them intoxicated enough. Force them to get so drunk or high that they are well beyond any ability to lie (which takes conscious thought).

What the h--l do you think they do to ours when they are caught? Waterboarding is pretty mild compared to getting your head cut off!

Actually we did get some actional information from waterboarding. This doesn't mean we should do it indiscriminately but we shouldn't take it off the table.

Exactly.

Liberals love evil, and love America's enemies.

They're probably behind on their dental appointments.

And mixing pork in their food -- that would be a good one.

Liberals only like to torture and kill the innocent.

It's the guilty and evil that they are determined to save.

They are remarkably consistent about that.

He didn't tell them that.

They told him and rejected him.

But keep making stuff up.

You libs are good at that.

I'm sure that if we forced them to drink alcohol when many of them are teetotalers, the liberals would call that "torture," too.

That "other side" is already doing it.

Kill terrorists by any means necessary.

How about we start locking up all the families of every person in prison in the US. If you've got a family member whose ever served time, you're going to prison with them.
You must like N. Korea.
