John McCain was not tortured

[forestal]

He was not tortured, if you believe the Bush Administration definition of torture.....

In all the discussion of John McCain's recently recovered memory of a religious epiphany in Vietnam, one thing has been missing. The torture that was deployed against McCain emerges in all the various accounts. It involved sleep deprivation, the withholding of medical treatment, stress positions, long-time standing, and beating. Sound familiar?
According to the Bush administration's definition of torture, McCain was therefore not tortured.

You are a complete waste of air. Please go kill yourself right now and we will all pray you haven't managed to pass on your genes.

Forestal, when you do this you do more harm than good for the Democrats. I'm just telling you.....

I am no Bush fan and that's one area Mccain seems to differ - Mccain has said he would consider things torture that Bush does not. Maybe we should subject Bush to water boarding and see if he likes it??

Maybe Bush is only going to be President for a few more months and you should get over it already?

 

[drmatsci]

Can we water board him after he finishes then? That would be acceptable.

 

[bcp]

well, we could torture him now by making him read your idiotic posts.

 

[forestal]

yeh, I give McCain credit for standing up to Bush on torture. Having experienced it first hand, could we expect any different?

I'll be celebrating in January no matter who wins: McCain will still be a much better president than Bush.

JFC, quit being such a putz. There are at least a dozen people on these forums who have been waterboarded. It's not fun, but if I had to choose between having my fingernails pulled out or being waterboarded, guess which one I'd choose?

Hush yo mouf, woman! Don't you go cluing the tard in on how his drivel is having the opposite effect!

Didn't you just get done saying that McCain wasn't tortured? Make up your mind, doofus.

I wish I wasn't brain dead....

I am as brain dead as stool....

Well looky here. Tweedle dee and tweedle dumber. Two morons who couldn't pass the entrance exam, let alone make it through the first day of boot camp.

totally agree ... but Forestal represents the new face of the Dems ... we'll see if it's a face that can endure

 

[drmatsci]

Hello, my point was that if anyone is qualified to decide what torture is or is not, its Mccain and not Bush. If Mccain says we have crossed the line, then he would know.

Why defend Bush on this?

And what was that comment about Boot Camp? I am not military, never wanted to and never tried, but I do have BS in engineering and an MS in engineering, so don't talk to me about exams.

​

...you've never heard McCain give a speech? Sounds tortured to me.

All those scraps of paper, yet you can't figure out how to use the "reply with quote" function.

Maybe you can use those as TP if you run out?

 

[drmatsci]

I am not the one with crap coming out my mouth...

But if you need a lesson how to use TP, go ask your mommy.
