We were WRONG: There weren't 180+ waterboardings, there were merely 180+ "pours"!

Have you heard Pathetic Excuse for Torture #73?:

"the 180-plus times refers not to sessions of waterboarding, but to “pours” — that is, to instances of water being poured on the subject."

Well, that is completely different! :sarcasm:

See, it's just the same as this:

Claim: ten-year-old Billy was sodomized with a baseball bat by Uncle Dick Cheney 180 times in one month.

Wait one minute: We can't count each thrust of the bat as an act of sodomy.

At most, we should only say that Uncle Dick sodomized Billy with a baseball bat 30 times.

You do see the difference, don't you?

1. Yep sort of like she wasn't raped 183 times just had his penis in her 183 times..

Waterboarding is a form of Rape. Forcing something into a persons body without their wanting it is Rape..

2. Was each pour from the ever-flowing bucket

in the CNN waterboarding graphic?

:shrug:

4. I don't know about that, but they say that medics were present...

Which makes it OK, ya know?

[CJCRANE]

5. Each "pour" is a torture

because the idea is to keep pouring until the person cracks.

On edit: so contrary to my previous post it doesn't matter how much or how little water was used.

[NYC_SKP]

7. Precisely. On another note, subjects wore neckbraces when they were slammed...

...into walls.

So it was OK, really, plus the medics were there.

Oh, yeah, and SERE training subjected our guys to these things, so that wasn't torture.

You know, the SERE trainings used to prepare our guys for possible TORTURE?

Wait a minute.

:wtf:

3. Is it true that Alberto Gonzales was an Air Force instructor in a Torture School?

A caller on Thom Hartmann said that this week.

8. he was in the Air Force for a few years

but I don't think he was any kind of instructor

[patrice]

9. Perhaps an advisor to a Torture School? nt

[underpants]

10. He did a year at the AF Academy and suddenly was allowed to leave

No one ever followed up on WHY that happened

[G_j]

12. I stand corrected! one year lol

6. Boy could I go for a beer right now.

11. Well, OK, then. 180 pours should be a snap when Hannity does it.
