I think you just violated the Geneva Accords.

Why do all the torture defenders have such swollen heads (literally)? There may be an important correlation here.

As someone who went through Survival School in the military, where we were taught how to deal with stress positions, sleep deprivation, hooding, shaking, mock-burials, etc., I have always thought it staggeringly sad that we got into this sort of sophomoric crap.

All these tactics are designed to break down a subject's mental resistance and produce dependence and susceptibility to suggestion. They aren't very good methods of getting accurate information.

Isn't it obvious that all these jagoffs just enjoy the idea of terrorists getting tortured? Just straight sadism, right?

Hey correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understood it, out of those released interrogation techniques only water-boarding is now officially recognized as "torture" (i.e. it's illegal).

All the other techniques are still legal, right?

I don't see any mention of reading Gawker in this story. I guess it's indefensible, even to hardcore torture enthusiasts.

That would be like using a Q-Tip to waterboard with.

Even reading it in Pup B.'s voice, I cannot decipher what Chris Buckley is trying to say. On behalf of Jews and Gays, however, I demand he cease and desist from using the phrase "Hel-lo?" again.

Looks like Obama may finally hold someone accountable!
