Which is more brutal? Waterboarding or Beheading?!?
How naive can those Democrats get?!
Why do those Human Activists never protest against those terrorists who suicide bombing or beheading the innocents?!
If by using waterboarding to save even one innocent, I am ALL FOR it.

You can only die once.
You can live in fear and pain for years.
You can die several times a night with waterboarding, and be brought back with a defibrillator, to wonder if they will bring you back next time or let you die, as you choke on the water they pour down your throat.
Again and again.
Torture is always more brutal than death.
One wishes for death so the pain will end, to be brought to the edge time and again is brutality.
It never does help save a single innocent life. The information we got was never useful. The plans change, the locations change, and the people are not using their correct names so no torture could get what isn't known.

So you wouldn't mind being waterboarded as long as we keep the sharp implements out of the room?
What's worse (you pick what you'd like done to your family):
child molestation - gang rape
peeling off skin - burning off skin
poking out ear drums - poking out eyeballs
electrocution - drowning
Before you make the "saving innocent lives" argument, you might want to read what the experts say. You get more information without torture. Bush didn't get 1 piece of useful information from his torture policies. In fact, after torturing people, he let them go so they could tell everyone what was done to them & create more terrorists.
My favorite stupid conservative argument:
Obama will release all the evil guys @ Gitmo & they'll come back to kill us.
Bush let over 500 of them go after beating & torturing them for years. Obama hasn't let one go, he just wants to find out why they're there.
When torture and murder is considered good, and following the laws is un-American, I have to believe the cockroaches deserve their turn.

Let me think...
Waterboarding makes it difficult to breath for a few seconds and you THINK you might drown.
Beheading removes your HEAD from your BODY.
Tough choice!
==========
The Activists that you speak of are ONLY interested in issues that make America look bad.
btw: the beheadings were Bush's fault.

What is more brutal, being put to death, or being basically tortured to death, slowly??? I"m pretty sure most warriors would love a quick painless death.......
Human Activists don't "protest" what terrorists are doing because they assume these people being labeled as terrorists would be enough...???? They pretty much are against anything that ends an innocent's life.......

the human rights communities worked a lot in the middle east before 911, if you ever cared to see what amnesty and ant-torture and womens rights groups were about before bush you would know, but with hundreds of thousands dead in iraq after america i guess a few beheadings do not sound so extreme.

Since beheading is fatal and waterboarding isn't i'm gonna have to go with beheading.
I say we kill them all. solve the problems that way.

The guidelines of the Geneva convention should not be broken period.
Ask anyone who has ever put on a uniform and served this country and they will tell you its wrong and should not have been done.

It is in the liberal agenda.
The theory is this; Tear down everything that is good or even percieved to be good and elevate everything that is bad until it all reaches some benign, marginal level.
The expectation is that once everything is marginal, there will be nothing to argue about so their will be nothing to fight about and there will be no war. Everything is so devalued that there is nothing for anyone to envy and then there is no crime.
The only crime left is the crime of disagreeing with the theory. You go to the gulag for that.
