WESTERLY, R.I. (AP) — A Rhode Island Democratic lawmaker says he'll donate $100 to charity for every second former President George W. Bush withstands waterboarding.

State Rep. Rod Driver also included former Vice President Dick Cheney and ex-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in his offer. He sent letters to all three.

Bush's administration allowed the interrogation technique, which simulates drowning, to be used on terror suspects. Driver says that, if Bush is so confident it isn't torture, he should try it for himself. His offer was first reported Thursday in The Westerly Sun.

A spokesman for Bush didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.

1. Well no, he should be in prison.

Nobody should be waterboarded anywhere in the world, it's illegal.

4. And since they know what the technique is and that we'll be using it on them...

They can train for it just like al-Qaeda can now. :eyes:

I don't know how mentally strong you can be to train yourself for torture that could kill you but these tough cowboys from Texas should be able to handle it.

6. That oughta be good for about a buck-two-ninety-eight

The chimp would wet his britches at the mere possibility. The thing about those rightwingers is they talk a lot of bold, tough shit about fighting and dying and sacrifice -- so long as someone ELSE is doing all that messy, painful, sweaty fighting, dying, and sacrificing. Heaven forbid they should endanger their precious hides.

8. Such a pretty little town, Westerly.

And not without a dark sense of humor.

[merh]

9. Now that is classic!

Talk about a call out - put up or shout up Dick, Condi, Donnie & Georgie!

If it ain't torture, if it doesn't cause pain, you got nothing to fear!
