Bill Bennett on CNN said Waterboarding is NOT torture....

[spanone]

does he profess to be a christian?

[pdxmom]

1. Anyone who claims waterboarding isn't torture needs to be

waterboarded until they change their mind.

[hobbit709]

9. Agreed!

Of course the people that say this are the same that support a clown who thought that branding was just a harmless fratboy prank.

[aquart]

15. Seems fair and reasonable.

[WCGreen]

2. Watching Bill Bennett on CNN is fucking torture...

Why does this hoary old man still have access to CNN and the rest...

[spanone]

3. i agree, next time i'm opting for some good old waterboarding

[Jim__]

4. ... And gambling is not a vice. :-) - n/t

[rox63]

5. Well then, he'd best get in line to be waterboarded

Before the lines get too long. Don't want to have to wait too long for such a treat. :sarcasm:

[Spazito]

6. LOL and gambling is a "family value" too!

The man has as much credibility as......CNN.....which is why he is on there, crap begets crap.

[Mz Pip]

7. Listening to Bill Bennett

is torture. :scared:

Try piping his voice into a cell and I'll bet you'll get a whole lot more information.

Mz Pip
:dem:

8. Step Right Up, Billie Boy

I'm sure you wouldn't change your mind if you had the same experience.

Billie Bennett still a shrill shill. Isn't it past time for him to die?

[Ilsa]

10. Hey, Billy, I hear waterboarding is the new ride at Disneyworld!

Fucking asshole.

[bullimiami]

11. did someone challenge him with some reality? or did they let the whale spout off freely?

i hate cnn.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

12. I think he should try it every day for a year!

and then see

[libnnc]

13. Put his fat ass on a slab,

blind fold him, put a gag in his mouth and leave the fucking faucet running on his head.

See how he fucking feels about water boarding then.

Psychopaths. All of them. :nuke:

[AlCzervik]

14. well then maybe the slots czar should give it a try.

[rodeodance]

16. Waterboarding, when used against people captured in the context of war, may also amount to a war cri

Waterboarding, when used against people captured in the context of war, may also amount to a war crime as defined under the federal war crimes statute 18 U.S.C. § 2441, which criminalizes grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions (in international armed conflicts), and violations of Article 3 common to the four Geneva Conventions (in non-international armed conflicts). Waterboarding is also an assault, and thus violates the federal assault statute, 18 U.S.C. § 113, when it occurs in the “special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States,” a jurisdictional area which includes government installations overseas. In cases involving the U.S. armed forces, waterboarding also amounts to assault, and cruelty and maltreatment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

[spanone]

17. he blamed it on congress, saying that congress hadn't specified waterboarding as torture

[devilgrrl]

18. Bill Bennett does NOT know wtf he's talking about...

never did, never will.

[malaise]

19. Well let that fat fugg

volunteer for a test run. I'd pay to see him begging for mercy.

[marmar]

20. Why does CNN keep giving this asshole a forum?

Then again, this is the same network that has Glenn Beck on staff.

[XOKCowboy]

21. OK - Bennett, Guiliani and Mukasey. National TV. Show us personally it's not turture

Hey we'll even let you say "When" and we'll stop which our government sanctioned torturers wont. I'll bet none of ya last more than 10 seconds before pissing your pants and screaming for it to stop. There's a reason that waterboarding has been considered torture for years. Heck ask John McCain!

Rant off. Jeez this pisses me off. These fucking NeoCons have made US the despot of the world and they're proud of it. I want my country back!

[libnnc]

23. Damn right. New gameshow. "Waterboarding for Neocons!"

Should air every night right before Wheel of Fortune.

[XOKCowboy]

24. I was thinking it should be on the floor of the Senate but...

then only CSPAN would cover it. I like your idea better. I wonder if Fox would pick it up? :)

[AnneD]

22. This is the same Bill Bennett that said...

beheading as punishment for drugs crimes was morally ok (drug Czar under GHWB)...

the same guy that was a high stakes gambler that lost millions (while publishing a book of virtues and belonging to an organization that opposed gambeling)...

Espouses vouchers (private schools, wants to hold teacher accountable for what students learn, allow non trained teachers to teach, do away with the most experienced teachers by dropping tenure (basically gutting public education)....

Head of PNAC and urged removal of SH....

That hypocrite mouth piece.....

[benEzra]

25. I dare say he'd object if someone did it to HIM, or to his family...

if the police showed up at his door and said they were investigating a gambling ring, I wonder if he'd mind if they waterboarded him for a few days to see if he'd confess to something? Or if they did that to a family member?

[Atman]

26. Bill thinks waterboarding is a VIRTUE!

Chapter seven of his Book of Virtues, I think..."Waterboarding is Fun."

.

[gratuitous]

27. How did we get to this point?

I used to know of a country that professed to be against police state tactics. And yet, here we are, having a serious discussion about what is and isn't torture, with lunatic fucknuts spouting gibberish on broadcasts and being listened to as if they're making even a lick of sense.

The gratuitous dictatorship can't come too soon for me. And Bill Bennett should know that dim-bulbed slot jockeys will not fare very well when I'm running things. Watch the porky little fucker run.

[Supersedeas]

28. the brownshirts want fair and balanced coverage -- CNN abides

[B Calm]

29. I wonder if he would like to be water boarded to prove his point? We

could televise it, people would love to see it!
