A Simple Answer to the Torture Question

Never mind John McCain and his pontifications on the matter.

The answer to the so-called torture question is very simple. One guideline would settle the matter, and arguments about it being excessively harsh or cruel would be easily rebutted.

American interrogators should be allowed to inflict a level physical discomfort on detainees that is equal to the level of pain a woman experiences during the process of labor and delivery.

After all, the Islamofacist thugs everyone is suddenly so concerned about should be able to take anything a woman can handle, right? When you consider how radical fundamentalist Muslims treat women (see Afghanistan, Taliban era), it's obvious that the fairer sex is looked down upon as a lesser life form, and chances are that most of the captured terrorists we're talking about subscribe to this belief system.

So really, if they're so superior to women, they should have no problems whatsoever dealing with a level of physical punishment that millions of women endure on a daily basis as they bring new life into this world.

That's not harsh, excessive, cruel or barbaric.

That's life.

Who's with me?

Spoken like a man who has never given birth or even witnessed one!

I for one, will readily acknowledge that my wife is far tougher than I.  Just show me a needle and I’d spill my guts.

Mike, you misread me. I have witnessed two of them firsthand (the second one just four weeks ago...a 9.5 pounder with (shudder) no drugs (he was too quick in coming).

My point being, if women can be up and around 3 days later and recover fully, there’s no reason these pseudo-macho goat fornicators shouldn’t be able to take it, especially since they think they’re SO much better than their women.

Now myself? I would rather have 10 heart attacks than go through labor....

Having been through S.E.R.E. I can assure you that A. Everyone breaks. 2. Torture does work. And lets be clear, you don’t start with torture. First you ask questions, list the answers. Then you ask the questions again in a different order. Then you ask them again in an entirely different order. This is accompanied by sleep dep, reduction of food intake and dehydration. Rarely do you have to move to the second level and actual torture. There are those hardcases who require being taken to the third level. Personally I don’t want to even question these pieces of shit. Screw their intel, kill them where ever they are found. No quarter asked, none given.

Alex, sounds like we mostly agree.

Childbirth is harsh, excessive, cruel, and barbaric.  Our enemies are pseudo-macho goat fornicators. 

Only one problem… how would we simulate childbirth in an interrogation situation?

Clearly we would start by removing their penis and testicle and surgically giving them a vagina of course.

2h9: Way too nuanced for the leftie press.  We all know the Bush regime loves to torture minorities.
