Well, it's just "enhanced interrogation", right? And I'm sure it was in the national interest, and they received valuable, life-saving information. So it's fine!

Tactics coming to America in a city near you soon. Saves on investigation, lengthy trials and that cumbersome term innocent until proven guilty.

May I suggest America start with water boarding the pro lifers and their terrorist cells and then work it into the rest of the justice system a little later.

This is appalling. Wonder if it's happening here, too, right now? With the tame, muted media we now have, we'd never know ...

[Djorkaeff]

This is typical of the Met Police, bunch of thugs.

Waterboarding! It's sooooo hot right now!!

Oops sorry about my last post, thought this was the article on Kenya feeling snubbed. Time for another cup of coffee. LOL

[HGMercury]

LOL... I was thinking you were referring to GW, and I was scratching my head to suggest a favorable article about him. I couldn't think of any.

[Bushwillresign]

He's not the decider in Chief anymore, but I don't think there is an article about it.

[mitsie]

Is it possible to post just one article that is favorable to our President, instead of searching out every possible angle of negativility?

Wow what a great week for GB!! First of all a bunch of neanderthals vote the missing link into the Euro
parliament, then a group of obviously bored coppers decide to try roleplay to pass the time.
"I know! Let's pretend we're yanks in Iraq!" "Ooh yes lets!, anythings better than going outside to solve some crime. I get scared outside, do you get scared outside?"

All this shortly after Susan Boyle comes second to a bunch of street urchins in BGT!! What's going on?

[splott]

In the old days they just used to stick their heads down the toilet, after which they would 'fall down the stairs'. Or am I thinking of Eton?

[deluk]

No I believe that's Harrow. Wasn't Eton ice cold baths and non consentual fellatio?

[thenorthshore]

i say why not USE

what works

no reason to reinvent the wheel

drink up boys

ill buy the next round

[HGMercury]

How about the rack? Or peeling off soles of the feet and re-sewing them back on with a generous infusion of salt?

[thenorthshore]

no, that would be

torture

[Hirnlego]

again suspects.. haven't even been proven to be guilty..

[StillAmused]

How do you work the keys?

Y'know, with your knu ckles dragging on the ground?

[merger]

Oh boy, not Britain too.

"...all six officers will be criminally interviewed under caution."

Talk about word play.

[tploomis]

Parents are now waterboarding their kids to find out where they really were last night.

[tploomis]

And husbands are waterboarding their wives to find out if they have been fooling around.

[cobobs]

One could think about so many people or professions that require waterboarding. As a joke. The scary thing is that once restraints of law and taboo are lifted, there are people who would waterboard others with gusto.

Britain must have got a copy of Yoo's memo. Hey Cheney, did you leak this one too?

[DubyaGump]

I wouldn't be surprised if he personally trained them in p roper w aterboarding techniques
