Waterboarding.............Why Not?

First, for those who don't know, waterboarding is is a form of torture that consists of immobilizing the victim on his or her back with the head inclined downwards, and then pouring water over the face and into the breathing passages. By forced suffocation and inhalation of water, the subject experiences drowning and is caused to believe they are about to die. It is considered a form of torture by legal experts, politicians, war veterans, intelligence officials, military judges, and human rights organizations. In contrast to submerging the head face-forward in water, waterboarding precipitates a gag reflex almost immediately. The technique does not inevitably cause lasting physical damage. It can cause extreme pain, dry drowning, damage to lungs, brain damage from oxygen deprivation.

There, I have given everyone the cause and effects. But, I ask you this........What is wrong with using a technique where the physical and mental outcome can't even compare to the physical and mental effects terrorists cause on citizens of Earth? I say there is nothing wrong with this technique. Hurting a few bad guys to save the millions of good guys is the right way about it.

When we train our military professionals on the art of survival, do you think we are nice and us a nice classroom setting? NO!!! We teach our military professionals what can happen if they get captured. This includes torture techniques we practice on our own military personal so that they know what to expect. This makes them stronger.

Finally. WE MUST DO WHAT WE CAN TO PROTECT THIS GREAT NATION FROM ANOTHER 9/11/2001!!! If it involves waterboarding........the so be it. By the way, thanks to Wikipedia for the waterboarding thoughts.

Fairness Doctrine........I don't think so!

For those of you who don't know, the "Fairness Doctrine" allows the FCC to implement a policy that requires broadcast stations to provide opposing views on controversial issues of public importance. Well guess what? I like the fact that I can turn to America Right or Sirius Patriot and focus on my point of view and not get interrupted by views from the other side. Basically, the "left" is concerned with the truth of the "right". We have heard their concerns for the past eight years and now the republicans can't return the favor? Sounds socialists to me. What is wrong with the way things are now? The "left" can listen to NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, ABC, CNN etc. and the right can have Wilkow, Rush, Mark, Laura, Sean, FOX News and company. If the public wants to hear the other side, tune to one of their stations; that's not difficult. This is America!! Freedom of speech and opinions means something; not monotonous talk!
