Justifiable uses for waterboarding, part VI

By Doug Powers  •  May 11, 2009 10:57 PM

After a long runaround, ironically, this could be the only way to finally get to the bottom of this mess and find out once and for all what she knew, and when she knew it.

If it helps thwart just one more attack on our intellects, it’ll be worth it:

null

But if anybody asks, I was never briefed about its use.

    It will be interesting to see how Pelosi and Harman–not best friends–dance around this together.

    If this was a republican the calls for investigations would be all over the place. Maybe if we get congress back in 2010, and the GOP grows a pair … :o P

    I suspect she’s more into “scotch and water” boarding. Nothing gets the tongue flapping faster than a good single malt scotch.

    There’s a lot of good uses for waterboarding.

    Anyone in prison should be waterboarded once a week just for a reminder about their crimes against society.

    I detest Pelosi. The fact that she was born in MD is a source of shame. But so is this blog item. It’s the type of garbage I’ve come to expect from the far left.

    I hope MM deletes it when she returns.

    I agree with you, up to a point. Waterboard the murderers, rapists and child abusers–the inmates who should have been given the death penalty in the first place. The death penalty is a great deterent–the person put to death is permantly deterred from ever committing the crime again.

    I believe the truth is rather simple to find here. Ask he to testify UNDER OATH that her denial of April 23 is true and release the complete transcript of her testimony under oath.

    Then let the inquiry begin.

    Bet you a BIG orange drink she will not.

    I have seen nothing else about this–if it is true I would imagine our Dear Leader and MSM will bury it. So to get to the truth we must waterboard Nancy Pelosi and Dingy Harry with Old Kilt and Socks Scotch-I am keeping the Single Malt for myself- Sorry Pasadena Phil-I just could not let those two have it-not even in the name of National Security.

    She is dishonest, narcissistic, crude, rude, a bully, not trust worthy, and not loyal. She has also been caught in numerous lies, unethical behavior and/or involvement, and more.

    Are the people who run for Congress that bad that the likes of Nancy Pelosi actually win elections and make it to such a position?

    Jim Bunning for President!

    J. C. Watts for Vice President!

    the inmates who should have been given the death penalty in the first place.

    Most of us here do not trust the government to fairly tax us, wisely use our money or generally act in good faith when it comes to regulating our lives. And we can all cite numerous examples to illustrate why we feel that way, starting with the local DMV and ranging all the way up to the President.

    But if you don’t trust the government with your money, why would you trust it with your life? If you don’t want it to have the power to regulate your life why would you give them the power to end it? I for one don’t think the same people who run the IRS should be deciding who lives and who dies.

    And before you all jump on me please actually read what I said. I’m not saying that rapists and murderers don’t deserve to die. I’m saying that it’s unwise to trust the government to make that decision.

    This happens because people have jobs, families, and vacations to take which keep them from getting involved in politics. This happens because Americans are lazy. This happens because Americans don’t force the media to report the facts. This happens because the liberal education system makes Americans STUPID!

    Former VP Cheney admitted on Neil Cavuto’s show that he did not know the specifics of what Rep Pelosi was breifed on with regard to EIT.

    For the record, I support the release of all documents concerning what was done in our name, and should Rep Pelosi be found out, she should be subject to whatever befalls any other person, should this matter be pursued.
