How would you respond if Iran used the same sadistic tactics that The Bush Crime Family used?

how many people did Roxana Saberi torture or kill? What type of valuable information does she hold that could possibly stop the next terrorist attack on Iran?
What terrorists attacks did she help orchestrate?

They have already "charged" her so unless they want to coerce a confession- the wonderful Islamic Republic would NEVER do that- there is no need.

Sure is, if the US can do it, anyone can do it.
After all, Cheney said that waterboarding wasn't torture.

No one who was waterboarded by the US was actually convicted of anything, were they?

If she is a spy, then she could have valuable information that Iran needs to know in order to protect its interests. But I don't think they should torture her, just waterboard her 88 or 183 times. Waterboarding is not torture so the US should not have any problems with that.

Who are you to tell the Iranian government how to run its affairs. If Roxana Saberi has valuable information that could protect Iranian interests, then they should be able to waterboard her whether they charged her or not. The decision is theirs not yours.

The Iranians seem to think she's a spy. Don't you think that they might think she has "valuable information?"

Well she may or she may not, the only way to make sure is to waterboard her.

As far as I am concerned what happens to her happens to her. She was either very stupid for going to such a country or naive beyond measure. Either way she took her chances and will receive the rewards of such risks. I really don't believe anyone who ignores travel warnings deserves a moment of pity. Welcome to Iran Roxana and now you know why it is on the list of countries to avoid. In america Journalists can get away with just about anything. No true in much of the world we live in.
My point being if the waterboard her its none of my business and not of my concern. I do believe that she will be lucky if that is all that they do to her. Beautiful woman, an infidel by their measure? I am pretty sure they will have very few limits on what will be allowed.
