ANOTHER UPDATE: Col. Douglas Mortimer emails:
Of course, indeed. Just this week, NPR (Terry Gross?) had some British yak talking about how he hopes during Eric Holder’s confirmation hearing, he is asked whether he thinks waterboarding is torture. The guest went to say that he hopes Holder says “yes,” and that he then goes on to investigate and prosecute everyone who was involved in waterboarding terrorist suspects and who was involved in approving the decision to allow it.
Yeah. Right. Like that’s gonna happen.
Hooey. As far as I’m concerned, they can waterboard as many suspected Islamofascist terrorists as they want. As “torture” goes, waterboarding is pretty much at the lollipop level. Saddam Hussein would laugh at such a bloodless and humane procedure for extracting information.
