that a thought that will haunt me tonight as I look in the mirror to see how my diet is going!

But to be fair and balanced, what about being strapped to a chair and Rush L stripping off?

'yes'

Im against all forms of torture.

To answer the question though....If it meant saving lives and I somehow KNEW that waterboarding would save those lives, then yes of course I would do it.

Most studies have shown though that you dont get accurate information from waterboarding.

Aw shucks (wringing my hands) mr. terrorist or terrorist sympathizer, could you please tell me when and where your next attack is gonna be?

No

Okay but some people might get hurt.

Waterboarding doesn't kill em, just makes em think their dying.

I am, I have no qualms with scaring someone to get information. Especially if that person is carrying a qoran and wearing a towel on their head.

Should we automatically assume that radical Islam has consumed the religion itself? Is that what you are asking?
