[Vision2020] Harsh Interrogations

[Tom Hansen]

Roger Falen stated:

"Whether water boarding is torture or not is open to question."

Congress has stated that waterboarding is torture. 

Former members of Bush's administration, just recently, have stated that 
waterboarding is torture.

Army Field Manual 2-22.3, Human Intelligence Collector Operations, (which 
I have posted twice here on the Viz), which is sttrongly supported by 
Congress and the JCS (Joint Chiefs of Staff) clearly identifies 
waterboarding as torture.

Any questions?

> Looks like you have all been busy since I was last on here.
> The reports sited by Andreas do not gel with those I have reported on 
here previously.
> Every one should be opposed to torture for tortures sake or for sadistic 
pleasure(Abu
Ghraib).
> Whether water boarding is torture or not is open to question. In any 
case it does not rise
to the level of pulling  out finger nails or pulling off arms. It it 
did ,I do not think
that Oliver North and Christopher Hitckens would have submitted to it.
> Any so called enhanced interrogations should be used sparingly. It 
should only be used in
those cases where it might prevent a major attack.  It should never be a 
routine practice
of the police force or for that matter of the military.
> Tom has relatives in L.A. He might change his mind if there were all 
wiped out by an
attack on L.A. that could have been prevented.

"So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't forget to 
have fun doin' it.  Lord, let your laughter ring forth.  Be outrageous, 
ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can 
produce.  And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer 
joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it 
was."
