Why Not Use Gonzales-Approved Aggressive Interrogation Techniques in Lieu of Oath?
Okay, Karl and Harriet don't want to swear an oath. Maybe they've converted to the Amish religion and can't swear an oath on a Bible. Whatever.

I say give them some slack. After all, they are or were high ranking people advising the president of the United States.

Deference is a must and I think we should be down with that.

Another great way of getting to the truth quickly in this crisis has been developed by Alberto Gonzales himself and his crack team of interrogation specialits. What we need here is some 'aggressive interrogation techniques!" To heck with swearing an oath on a Bible.

I don't know why the WH hasn't come up with this idea, since they've approved it and use it in serious situations. We all know this is a serious situation, so why not?

I myself like the idea of waterboarding Harriet and Alberto. (-: We know for certain that they will talk. There will be no refusal to answer questions. Plus, we could do a pay per view thing on cable and use the proceeds to help refurbish VA hospitals!

Its a win-win, all the way around!

:bounce:

:bounce:

Please list your preferred methods of 'aggressive questioning' suitable for Harriet and Karl here, using ONLY methods previously approved by Speedy Gonzales.

2. I thought about the electrodes on genitals thing
You know? With the black cape and all?

But I've heard that waterboarding is much quicker.

25. I don't know.. these guys creep me out.
they seem like the type that would enjoy the electrodes on the genitals procedure. I had corned beef and cabbage over the weekend, and the cabbage created a bit of a situation for me, if you know what I mean? I'd volunteer to save it in a bucket or something. Hell, I'd pay for the pleasure of smearing it on him too. Please, let me know if torture is the way they decide to go with this.

15. I can only support methods approved by the Justice Department
After all, we are a nation of laws, not men and we do not torture prisoners!!

Maybe you didn't have the using the money to refurbish VA hosptial thingy. I think that's a good touch, no?

10. I believed the approved method also calls for cellophane wrap
Edited on Tue Mar-20-07 04:03 PM by Jacobin
I'm not really as familiar with these things as I should be, but certainly Alberto can tell us exactly how its done, all proper and legal, you know.

24. You have a sick twisted mind
and I love the way you think. K&R.

But I would hate to waste money to have them questioned. Wouldn't it be better just to turn them loose on the streets of Baghdad with sandwichboards saying "I support the Iraq invasion"? :bounce:
