I doubt many noticed, like the media, but when Dick Cheney said this weekend that he was a “big supporter of waterboarding,” he not only showed what an idiot and evil SOB he is, he also inadvertently admitted to a war crime.
By ALL international standards and laws, waterboarding is a war crime. Begun in the frickin Spanish Inquisition, waterboarding is an awful, useless tool that simulates effects of drowning. I mean, throw a rock and you’ll hit a report about how torture produces poor intelligence.
Truth is, we should fry him in front of the world to regain our moral standing. We not only created decades of recruitment but we also lost a moral high ground we had held high since WWII. US does not torture. Period.
I get a chill imagining the reactions of all the great men who gave and sacrificed to create a global beacon of freedom comprised of a government in which “no man need be afraid of another.” FDR would fall out of his wheelchair.
Don’t you see? It CONFIRMS us as the “bad guy.” We ARE better than all the rest, aren’t we?
Yes, even if it means our end. The ideal is bigger than whole of its parts. Besides, if we fry the old bastard, perhaps ironically then, will they finally and long last ’greet us as liberators.’
