Hahhahahahahahahaa. She kept me safe by ordering the torture of random men and women picked up the ME? I find that laughable and insulting to my intelligence. Is this a skit from Orwell's 1984????? Do people really worship big brother like this? Torture is good? Peace is bad?

Little did I know that people like Gina Haspel would spring into action and give us another day, another week, and heck, so far almost 18 years.

Thank you Gina. You did what you had to do to protect us. May God Bless you.
Nothing came out of those torture sessions that had any bearing on anything related to the "war on terror", or on "keeping you safe".

You might like to believe, because of TV programs probably, that torture works and is the ultimate tool that breaks open a case - but it usually is not. And was not here.

Hollywood has normalized the concept of torture... America now believes it's sexy and masculine to torture.

She did nothing of the sort.

You know who has kept us safe? 300 million registered firearms owned by 100 million Americans, not to mention the millions that aren't registered.

Yeah, they proved real efficient at shooting down all those hijacked airliners from killing over 3000 innocent souls and preventing those bombs from killing and maiming some more.

Dear god; do you get a new script mailed to you every few hours?

Surely you cannot believe the silly stuff you put out there.

Lol at anyone calling waterboarding torture.
It is certainly bad but enhanced enterogation is more fitting.

We wouldnt literally "torture" our own troops during survival training, but we do waterboard them.
