    The new place would be the official site of “torture” anyway.

    Uh, anyone seen Charlie Manson or Terry Nichols running around their neighborhoods lately? This straw dog has been in the stalls way too long.

    Antartica with a blanket and some boots; that’s it. They’re on their own from there : )

    I think we should build a high security prison on some island that is near, but not in our country. Some place like Gitmo. In fact, Gitmo would be a perfect place except it would not cost anything to make the move.

    Leave them in Gitmo! Onto the next “problem”…

    gbrucewilson: So, what you’re saying is that the Supermax prisons aren’t safe?

    The place itself is not a problem. The torture is.

    Lego – nearly EVERYBODY is a nimby. You rarely hear people clamoring to have a nuclear reactor or an asphalt factory built in their backyards.

    NIMBY is spelled us.

    Actually we lease a COALING (re-fueling) station from Cuba. It is by lease U.S. territory, but with restrictions. Putting the prison camp there violated U.S. law, international law, and the lease agreement, despite what Gonzales and Loo lied. THAT is the real problem Obama is trying to work out, how to get legality past both Liberal AND Conservative morons doing their complaining. Line ‘em up with Bush and Cheney and send them all to the same place, wherever.

    90 to 5 NBIY No$$$ to close Gitmo. US SENATE!!!!

    Corosive Frog, So we should close all prisons were someone was “mistreated”? That would leave zero prisons open in the world. Your logic is the same used by the anti-gun nuts. “Outlaw guns and let the killers go free”. Remember, prisons don’t torture people, other people do. Of course, I don’t agree that water boarding is torture. Listening to Nancy Pelosi is torture.

    “So we should close all prisons were someone was “mistreated”?”

    Corosive Frog didn’t say that. And there’s a wide gap between “mistreated” and “tortured”.

    “Of course, I don’t agree that water boarding is torture.”

    I know you don’t agree, but the United States (along with the rest of the civilized world) thought it was until just recently (research the case of Yukio Asano or the International Military Tribunal of the Far East if you don’t believe me).

    “Listening to Nancy Pelosi is torture.”

    I’m sorry, but I don’t find torture to be funny.

    Ah yes, liberals NEVER want to get THEIR hands dirty.

    You Righties have a bad habit of “all or none”, “always or never”, “black or white”. Ever heard of “some”, “sometimes”, “gray”? The world is analog, not binary.

    Funny, the wingnuts want to punish the guilty except when it is they themselves.

  22. HOWGOZIT

    Yes the democrats have been so quick to censure their own in Congress; goes both ways lala wingnuts don’t have the patent

  23. lalas

    lalas said, 6 months ago

    Not talking about Congress… I’m talking about you equivocating here on the legality of torture, warrantless wiretapping etc…
    You seem to confuse your own conviction that “it’s worth it” with “IT’S ILLEGAL!”

  24. HOWGOZIT

    HOWGOZIT said, 6 months ago

    So is speeding and sliding through stop signs!! IT’S ILLEGAL; but okay as long as you do not get caught.

  25. lalas

    lalas said, 6 months ago

    Oh yeah those two things are equal. Pfffft… you’re a joke… a bad joke.

  26. cdward

    cdward said, 6 months ago

    Howgozit, would you say murder is okay as long as you don’t get caught?

  27. HOWGOZIT

    HOWGOZIT said, 6 months ago

    You could kill someone speeding or going through stop signs, but that is besides the point. Just too much of “it was illegal” and sobeit attitudes–no consideration that it kept America safe. It is just simply anti-Bush period. Waterboarding the three terrorists did not lead to any deaths. There are many murderers on the street that did get caught–OJ anyone. The hysteria of the waterboarding of three terrorists is inexplainable.

  28. danielsangeo

    danielsangeo said, 6 months ago

    I need money. If I rob a bank, but don’t kill anyone, then it worked, didn’t it?

    “The hysteria of the waterboarding of three terrorists is inexplainable.”

    Actually, it’s quite explainable. Torture (such as water boarding) is a war crime. It isn’t running a stop sign. It doesn’t have anything to do with being “anti-Bush”. It has nothing to do with “leading to any deaths”. It has nothing to do with it “working”.

    It has to do with it being a war crime according to National and International Law. It is something that we prosecuted others for with the death penalty.

    Water boarding has been a war crime for a long time. It is currently illegal according to Title 18, Section 2441.

    “As used in this section the term “war crime” means any conduct—defined as a grave breach in any of the international conventions signed at Geneva 12 August 1949, or any protocol to such convention to which the United States is a party”

    Water boarding is a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions. Therefore, a war crime.

    THAT is what we’re against. It has nothing to do with the political party of the person that authorized and ordered it.

    That you want to make this political is “inexplainable” (sic).

  29. cdward

    cdward said, 6 months ago

    What you forget is that it’s not just waterboarding. You know we tortured people in Abu Ghraib, that we practiced extreme rendition in which we kidnapped people from their countries and transported them to other countries where they were tortured. It’s all wrong. And does it matter how many? Wrong is wrong. If the president ordered torture, there’s something terribly wrong with that.

    Pretending it made you safer (which it didn’t) is not worth losing your soul. But if you’re willing to torture and murder (remember, prisoners did die as a result of some of those “enhanced” techniques), then you really have lost any sense of civility.

  30. gbrucewilson

    gbrucewilson said, 6 months ago

    I love the way liberals state their “opinion” as “fact”. If water boarding is a “war crime”, then we are committing war crimes when we train our special forces. Reporters have been water boarded. Was that a war crime? Anyone who says they wouldn’t use “whatever it took” to save the life of their family is either a liar or a fool.

  31. fennec

    fennec said, 6 months ago

    gbw, the cases you cite are of people who volunteered to be water-boarded, either as part of their training or as a publicity stunt. Not the same as a prisoner. FWTW, I recently read of a radio talk show guy who was going to show everyone how water-boarding wasn’t torture. He lasted 7 seconds and came out admitting it was torture.

    Howgozit and others (read Cheney) say their “enhanced” methods kept us safe for 8 years. There was no attack on US soil by foreign terrorists for decades before CheneyBush. How did they slip up and let us get attacked on their watch?

    Also, why are terrorist attacks so much worse if they happen here? CheneyBush’s tactics didn’t stop attacks in London or Madrid. They’re not Americans so they don’t count?
