Watch the part of the video (not Obama related) about waterboarding (1:12)

1. I am SOOO not picking up what you're putting down...

.... can you expound on that a little? Are you talking about what the ACLU rep is saying or the part about the Torture investigations or?????

2. The part about waterboarding, which Obama didn't address, but

is specific to the testimony by one of the interrogators.

3. The part where the mystery voice said that HIS method....

..... of treating Zubaida like a HUMAN BEING and NOT worse than an animal was actually what got him to talk?

I know ..... that was awesome. Wish I could have heard Cheney's response to that.

All day the pundents have been saying, "we'll be attacked again one day, what will Obama do then!? Will he want to waterboard then!?!!!"

I think that's terribly pessimistic. Call me a pollyanna, but I'd like to think that if we TREAT the people of the world fairly and justly, perhaps they'll want to do the same to us.

4. Obama "gets it"...

Now I have been too busy to stay on top of this story, but I know you'll agree that he will not go back to Bush/Cheney torture tactics at the risk of further fucking up our world standing.

He gets it.

No matter what the pundits say.

:patriot:

6. yep, which is why this whole "more of the same" bs....

.... both on this board and out of Rachel and Turley's mouths are doing my head in.

Did you see the segment where Rachel talked about the maggots eating the ant's brain? It's kinda like that ..... I just hope i dont wander around dead for a month and have my head fall off at the end. :)

(and if you DIDN'T see Rachel, it's all explaied here...)
