I hope everyone is ready to talk about torture, becaus I am! I just watched a video of Keith Olbermann talking about waterboarding.


Essentially, waterboarding is simulated drowning. It is hotly debated in Washington whether or not this constitutes torture. I can confidently say that most people are aware that is procedure is, in fact, torture. And I think we are all aware that there are numerous reasons-- historical, ethical, and legal reasons-- that torture is looked down upon internationally.

But since some of our current presidential candidates and current politicians are less than forthcoming about their positions on torture and waterboarding, I have a suggestion. We institute waterboarding into our press meetings and the rest of the presidential debates. I think this would be incredibly useful for Senator Clinton, who has lately seemed to have a lot of trouble stating where she stands on certain issues. Since some people seem to think that torture is a reliable way to extract information, this might be a way to revolutionize politics in the United States.

Those "in the know" won't say that waterboarding is torture because that would mean they've committed a crime-- a serious, internationally opposed crime. Those who side with the administration on the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" won't clarify their positions on waterboarding because they don't want to imply that the Administration was wrong, or that they indirectly supported torture.

 The only solution is perfectly clear, isn't it?

WATERBOARD ALL THE BASTARDS!

Is it time to make it clear we won't stand for American Gulags and torture, or should we wait even longer?

That's what I thought of the belly slapping. Remember, don't punch, because you could Houdini them.

I was really impressed with this. I've only been watching Olbermann for a couple weeks now... ever since redwoodpecker posted George Carlin on his show. Carlin gave him so much praise, I had to check him out. This was the best segment I've seen yet.

I agree. I've been watching him for a long time. He's been compared to Murrow, you know.
