Webster’s Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary defines torture (as a noun) as: the infliction of intense pain (as from burning, crushing, or wounding) to punish, coerce, or afford sadistic pleasure. As a verb, it defines torture as: to punish or coerce by inflicting excruciating pain, to cause intense suffering, to twist or wrench out of shape.
Bleeding heart liberals like Nancy Pelosi (who needs either gingko biloba for her memory or a truth serum), Harry Reed, and their ilk who complain about waterboarding terrorists as torture need to get a life, learn how to read, or explain to the terrorists’ victims how terrorists should have more rights than their victims.
If you can look me in the eye and tell me that, even if you knew a terrorist possessed the details of an impending terrorist attack that would directly affect your child, you would absolutely refuse to waterboard that terrorist when all other methods have failed, I praise God that I am not your son!
In the first place, waterboarding does not come anywhere close to definition of torture. In the second place, folks, wake up! We are not living in the land of Oz. The terrorists, with whom we deal, have but one goal in mind—kill as many Americans as possible, and they do not care what they have to do to accomplish that goal. Normal methods of interrogation do not work on people who operate on ideology. Waterboarding plays tricks on the mind, but does not inflict pain or injury. So get over it, and allow the experts to do their job of protecting us. If you don’t, you’ll soon be singing a different tune, because they will attack us again. As former Secretary of State Rice said, “They have to get lucky only once!”
