anyone wacthing cnn tonight see the big story about the CIA using waterboarding as a form of torture? I am an X marine and it is my opion that this is not torture. i can see how people woud be bothered by it..its not eaclty a nice thing to do....on Cnn they talked about how they used waterboarding on one of the key al queda guys, and it only took 38 secounds for him to give up valueable info... so lets look at waterboarding...a bunch of water is pourded down your throat to make you THINK you are drowning...so no real physical damage...no real pain...no disfigurement...its not like we are cutting peoples heads off...or sticking needles under fingernails....i am sorry i guess i just dont have much compassion ...i mean American lives were saved b/c a terroist was scared into talking? i mean 38 secounds of fear is all it was...and if american lives can be saved by scarying the hell out of bad guys so be it....i just cant see it as torture b/c there is no physical damage or mental damage...
