Water boarding by itself is a very mild form of torture. The problem with it is that it sets the precedent that torture is acceptable. If the government is allowed to go down this road, it is just a matter of time before federal agents are pulling out fingernails and boiling people in oil. Of course, the government won't go right from water boarding to pulling out fingernails. Its starts with water boarding then goes to tasering perhaps.

Nuking hiroshima etc… was not, in any way, a moral act.

and a troup having a good romp in the tear gas chamber is not in any way the same as being subjected to actual torture. One, your willing, Second, you never fear death, Third, your with your troup buddies and not alone. .. To even draw parallels is just shocking.

Hell, when I was in basic training, the military deliberately exposed everybody in the training unit to the Gas House. All the recruits were ordered to march around a room full of tear gas. Then when we were really feeling the effects of the gas, the instructors started asking us questions, like "name?", "rank?", etc.

WE WERE BEING TORTURED AND INTERROGATED, OH NOES!!!!

I don't understand why it's morally wrong to cause physical discomfort to a person in an effort to recover information that could save innocent lives, but it's morally acceptable to drop 2000 pound bombs in urban settings where it is absolutely certain that some innocent will get killed.

It's immoral to waterboard a terrorist, but moral to nuke hiroshima, or firebomb Tokyo? I honestly don't understand this reasoning.

Thank you for this information. Did you know that some make earning thru posting comments or tweeting in your blog post. Well that is what you call blogging. Many people are looking for new job, especially those who had been lay-off or newly graduate. There are many reasons to get a new job, we consider the salary or more interesting/challenging work. (You don't REALLY like writing copy and filling out TPS reports, admit it nobody does. Thinking about it gives me narcolepsy.) Or it could be you are about to lose your job or quit your job, and don't want to get short-term loans to float you. Being an unplaced worker isn't a pleasant place to be in. It beats having to get online payday loans if you have a new job already lined up. Well, always put in mind that nothing comes for free. So better start looking for good jobs and enjoy all benefits that you might have. Submit your resumes and hope that they call you back, and if you make it, that what you called luck.
