Joe Scarborough is on TV right now presenting "the other side of waterboarding"
Saying "it worked on Khalid Sheik Mohammed and it worked on John McCain." Says we got all kinds of valuable information from KSM, and McCain is ashamed to this day that it worked on him.

Mika Brzezinski is trying her best to counter him but he's coming back every time. Finally she's giving up and saying "I'm glad to debate with you because there are two sides to every story." Joe is saying yes, there is, and they're not afraid to discuss things on their show, and if people tell them there's anything wrong with it, they're idiots.

Explain, Joe, the story of torture from the AMERICAN point of view!

Tell us how TORTURE is so important to AMERICA!

What an ignorant phony!

Next time he comes to town (probably a week from Saturday), I will try to educate him.

We have your sons: CIA

March 10 2003
By Olga Craig
Kuwait

Two young sons of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the September 11 attacks, are being used by the CIA to force their father to talk.

Yousef al-Khalid, 9, and his brother, Abed al-Khalid, 7, were taken into custody in Pakistan in September when intelligence officers raided a flat in Karachi where their father had been hiding.

Mohammed fled just hours before the raid but his sons and another senior al-Qaeda member were found cowering behind a wardrobe in the apartment.

The boys have been held by the Pakistani authorities but this weekend they were flown to America where they will be questioned about their father. CIA interrogators confirmed that the boys were staying at a secret address where they were being encouraged to talk about their father's activities. "We are handling them with kid gloves," said one official. "After all, they are only little children, but we need to know as much about their father's recent activities as possible. We have child psychologists on hand at all times and they are given the best of care."

5. They're "handling them with kid gloves" because they are "only little children"?
That must mean they use smaller bathtubs for the waterboarding.

"They were being 'encouraged' to talk about their father's activities." Yeah, right.

And the child psychologists are there to advise them: "Say 'Tell us or you'll never see your father again.' That always works."

7. Something tells me Lil' Joe could be broken real easy Mac
Take less than 5 minutes and he would admit to killing that woman.

Whether he did it or not.

9. Two things I don't understand
From those with a hard-on for waterboarding, we hear "it works" and "it's not torture, it's really not so bad".

Firstly, isn't that contradictory? If it's not so bad, the bad guys could withstand it.

Secondly, if that's true, why not use it in regular criminal investigations? Effective, humane, cheap: what's not to like? The RW should push to make it part of the repertoire of every police department. All right-thinking Americans would support that, right?

12. Part of this nation is sick for sure. Rotten to the fecking core
First chance we get we need to eviscerate these sick bastards from our society.

They need to be in prison where they can't hurt others.
