I've been wondering, too.

Torture ... from John Manzo's blog.

So, our current President ran on values. They certainly aren't the values of Christianity, they certainly aren't the values of mainstream ethical philosophy, so it makes me wonder just whose values he ran on and by whose values he governs.

let me tell you a little something about waterboarding.

while serving in the U.S. Navy, i had the pleasure of going to Search, Evade, Resist, Escape training (SERE). it's some of the best training i've received in the military, because that school is about as real as it gets.

for about 3 days we subjected to all types of physical and mental stress. i was stuffed into a box, punched, kicked, walled and waterboarded.

it's terrifying to say the least, but ladies and gentlemen, the bad guys are doing too. not that gives the U.S. the green light to do it also, but here i am today, functioning at full capacity, college graduate with honors and raising two children. it's an effective tool to gain information and not to go against the grain here, but i don't see any problems with it.

please be gentle on the retorts.
