Rep. Peter King Dismisses Torture Report As Just People In 'Awkward Positions'

"we’re not talking about anyone being burned or stabbed or cut or anything like that.
We’re talking about people being made to stand in awkward positions, have water put into their nose and into their mouth.

Nobody suffered any lasting injuries from this."

You know, because he won't suffer any lasting injuries from it....

(I assume that means this IRA-Terrorist sympathizer missed the part in the report where the CIA on at least one occasion tortured someone to death, right? )

For hours or days, like the people who had to endure them.

Then he can come back and tell us how "awkward" they felt.

Asshole (which, by the way, was also a body part involved in some of this "awkwardness&quot .

You voted YES to make death penalty appeals harder. You believe in the Death Penalty for Americans so why are you so soft on TERRORISTS?
You should be outraged that they were treated so well.
Imagine! They want to kill Americans by the bushel - at random - and all they get is a leg cramp.

Representative King: Get out there and demand harsh treatment … torture and death as an equal opportunity punishment for killers of every race and creed and motivation!
