Suspending recess is not torture

Quick - hold your breath! You've just been tortured.

The President vetoed the ban on waterboarding. Predictably, the Liberal MSM went spastic. Oh the humanity! The Daily Punctilio, aka the Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette, whined and wailed, this makes us just like them!

Well, not exactly Scooter. I don’t believe even the far leftist of loons thinks that the US government is indiscriminately snatching hundreds of innocent people, among them women and children, off of the street every week and waterboarding them to death in the name of God. That is essentially what the Islamo-terror-fascists do when they blow up a train, building, pizza parlor or market somewhere.

So, call me crazy, but I do not equate the waterboarding of three ITF suspects after 9-11 with flying planes into buildings and killing 3,000 innocent people. And dare I say, only an idiot would.

Next the Punctilio went on to assure us that torture doesn’t work. Hmmm. They may want to pick up George Tenet’s book “At the center of the storm”. In it, Tenet confirms that waterboading does work and it saved American lives.

So who are we to believe, the Libs at the Daily Punctilio or the former CIA director?

Last the Punctilio argues that using such tactics will only inflame the enemy who will then treat our POWs in the same fashion. Note to the Punctilio: the ITF are in a perpetual state being inflamed. Newspaper cartoons inflame these people to riot, murder and burn for crying out loud. And how lucky would our POWs be if they could be assured of only being waterboarded? Instead they are burned to death and their bodies are hanged from bridges. Their heads are hacked off on TV. They are shot execution style and left in shallow graves.

I know, let’s just not call it torture. It’s that word that has the Libs shorts in a knot. If Libs can get away with calling illegal aliens – “undocumented workers” – why don’t we just agree to call waterboarding – “temporary but mandatory cessation of breathing”.

There is something fundamentally wrong with not putting some kind fear, uncertainty, and doubt, in the minds of the IFT's. They can read these fish wraps.From the outside looking in we must appear very weak to them. Resurrecting Ronald Magnus and his advice on peace through strength...he was right. I still like how he convinced the world and the average Joe that we were one wisker from having Star Wars technology go active. This could be called propaganda. We should take all the IFT residents of Gitmo, put ties and jackets on them, place them in a Baptist Church at Easter, take pictures and leak them to the press. The caption would be IFT's Willingly Convert to Christianity. All hell would break loose in the press and with the libs. Ronny would do it. Call it Conversion in the Star Wars Style. How do you create FUD with these guys?
