Waterboarding for fun and profit ~ By Doug Powers

How bad is waterboarding? So bad that some people have actually volunteered to have it performed on them? (However, these stunt waterboardings are often performed improperly and in an unsafe manner, clouding the whole debate and even endangering the volunteer.) Make sure that you watch the Mancow waterboarding video (also below) before you decide if waterboarding is real torture. read more | digg story

Obama and Cheney battle over war on terror policies

By JOSH GERSTEIN & JONATHAN MARTIN In an extraordinary crosstown debate carried live across the airwaves, President Barack Obama and former Vice President Dick Cheney battled Thursday over the Bush administration’s war on terror, with Cheney issuing a scathing rejection of the new president’s policies and saying Obama is leaving the nation exposed to attack. Cheney accused those who call Bush interrogation practices torture – as Obama has – of engaging in “contrived indignation and phony moralizing on the interrogation methods applied to a few captured terrorists.” And he urged Obama to make future national security choices based not on “slogans and campaign rhetoric, but on a truthful telling of history.” Obama, in turn, said President George W. Bush decimated the nation’s values and beliefs in a hastily conceived, poorly executed plan that left him a “mess” at Guantanamo Bay prison and American’s image abroad in tatters. Obama said the only responsible way to clean up problems at Gitmo is to bring some prisoners to the U.S. for trial, despite the intense resistance to that idea in Congress.

Obama avoids The Crocodile ~ By Pat Buchanan

If Obama has done anything right, it is in avoiding a fight with Dick Cheney over the "enhanced interrogation techniques" that Cheney approved. Obama does not want this fight, for he knows that it is highly probable that al-Qaida is going to conduct some spectacular attack on this country or its allies, and he would be blamed for it. read more | digg story

Senator Lindsey Graham blasts Speaker Pelosi in an interview with Fox News’ Shep Smith, saying that if waterboarding “was a crime, she was part of it.” "She [Pelosi] wants it both ways: She wants to damn the Bush Administration, but she doesn’t want to take responsibility for what she was told.” [Continue reading]

Donovantalk: Pelosi says she knew nothing about waterboarding

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi says she had NO IDEA we were waterboarding captured Al Qaeda terrorists. Whoops! It looks like the Speaker misspoke. It turns out her top aide was informed, in detail, in 2003. He then informed her. And now Democrat House majority leader Steny Hoyer thinks it's time to check out the facts. read more | digg story ~ Submitted by billdjr

The death of shame ~ By Hal Lindsey

Nancy Pelosi's press conference was all about pressing the attack against an already-vanquished enemy, (George Bush, not al-Qaida) in opposition to the best interests of both her party and her country – even to the point of accusing the CIA (under both the Bush and Obama administrations) of lying about her so that she "would look bad." read more | digg story

Shocked about waterboarding? ~ By Joseph Farah

Why do the politicians - those that want to prosecute former administration officials for allowing the waterboarding of terrorists - have nothing to say about the blatant abuse of tasers on U.S. citizens by civilian law enforcement officers? The death toll for people here, as of late last year, who had tasers used on them was 334! Shocking! read more | digg story

Watching MSNBC is torture ~ By Ann Coulter

By Ann Coulter The media wail about "torture," but are noticeably short on facts. Liberals try to disguise the utter wussification of our interrogation techniques by constantly prattling on about "the banality of evil." Um, no. In this case, it's actually the banality of the banal. Start with the fact that the average Gitmo detainee has gained 20 pounds in captivity. There's even a medical term for it now: "the Gitmo gut." Some prisoners have been heard whispering, "If you think Allah is great, you should try these dinner rolls." In terms of "torture," there was "the attention grasp," which you have seen in every department store you have ever been where a mother was trying to get her misbehaving child's attention. If "the attention grasp" doesn't work, the interrogators issue a stern warning: "Don't make me pull this car over." [Continue reading]

Life imitates '24' ~ By Joseph Farah

If the FBI arrested some terrorists and determined they had information about a nuclear bomb smuggled into the United States and agents had reason to believe they had only hours to prevent a detonation in a major city, What Would Obama Do? You mean, he would allow millions of people to die in a mushroom cloud so that he can stick to his principles? read more | digg story

Phony, perverted 'compassion' ~ By Joseph Farah

Joseph writes, "You really have to wonder about people who, on the one hand, are morally outraged at the idea of coercive interrogations of enemy combatants to save the lives of innocent people and who, on the other hand, have no problem with plunging scissors into the brains of unborn babies." read more | digg story ~ Submitted by congresssucks

Muslims: 'We do that on first dates' ~ By Ann Coulter

Without any pretense of an argument, which liberals are neurologically incapable of, the mainstream media are now asserting that our wussy interrogation techniques at Guantanamo constituted "torture" and have irreparably harmed America's image abroad. We are now snickered at in capitals around the world, where they know what real torture is. read more | digg story

Tortured logic ~ By Hal Lindsey

The so-called torture memos released by the White House were not the only things tortured by what quickly became a crisis. The release tortured logic to a point beyond its endurance. Under that kind of torture, it quickly broke down. What purpose did releasing the alleged "torture" memos serve? It is painfully obvious how it served our enemies. read more | digg story

Every liberal policy in a nutshell - Glenn Beck

It's all about feel-good emotional stuff! If you want to do it for any other reasons, like for our country's security, forget about it. If it will make us all feel good, well, then maybe we should do it! Glenn Beck saw a great segment on "24" on Monday night that explains the whole liberal philosphy... And they thought the show was just fiction...
