Waterboarding Hyprocrisy

[TwistedTails]

Ok...I basically have zero knowledge of waterboarding in the first place. But this is obviously an explosive topic. So you are responding in a very emotional way, but I am not really sure I know what your views are on waterboarding as much as your views on SadisticNature's views on waterboarding. I am very interested in hearing (or reading as the case may be) your opinions.

Actually we have not come to the point of dicussing waterboarding yet. We are still working
on narrowing the sweeping comments made in his first two posts into something that can be
discussed without open warfare

My personal opinions on waterboarding are simple. Waterboarding is a form of torture. Under
the 3rd and 4th Geneva conventions it became illegal for the 194 signing countries to practice
torture beginning in 1929. Prior to that time there were no restrictions on the use of torture
in military actions and such tortures were practiced by many, if not all, governments
as a matter of routine.
