CHENEY FTFMFW!!!!

. We finally took the correct approach and quit treating them like terrorists and started to treat them like combatants. If we did that in '94, 9/11 would never have happened.

"Treating them like combatants" would mean not torturing them, as torture is banned by the Geneva convention. So no, we are not treating them like combatants.

Torture does not imply death, but according to Cheney's memos "suffering "equivalent in intensity" to the pain of "organ failure ..... or even death." Waterboarding is meant to make the recipient think that they are drowning. The fact that the process isn't lethal is not important... the threat of death is there and thats what is important.

And since torture is "effective," I suppose all those false confessions John McCain signed in Vietnam are actually true.

Treating them like combatants means going after them militarily, not thourgh criminal law as we have done until 9/11. I guess I should have explianed myself better.

There is no pain involved in water boarding. It is all mental. Would you be happier if we gave them everything they wanted and only asked them questions in a nice way? You obviously think that would be more effective.

As I said, it has to be verifiable info. The questions asked by the Russians, though the Vietnamese, were not independently verifiable. The signed confessions is a PR thing, not an information thing. Confessions under torture mean nothing. Individual, verifiable pieces of info are a very different story. My little scenario is a use for enhanced interrogations. Reaching for random pieces of info does not.
