Is This Guy Serious???

Is this guy really trying to make the case that we put our soldiers at risk of waterboarding because the US condoned this action? Check out his satirical post:

News Flash: Taliban Waterboards Captured U.S. Soldiers--Claims "Not Torture"

Brian Tamanaha

According to reports out of Kabul, the Taliban announced that they have waterboarded three U.S. soldiers taken prisoner. The Taliban commander asserted that waterboarding is not torture and does not violate the Geneva Convention or U.S. law. He assured everyone that a medical officer monitored all waterboarding sessions to insure that no permanent damage was done to the soldiers. In addition, he said they were careful to follow the directions on waterboarding in a SERE training manual they found posted on the internet.

In support of his assertion that waterboarding is not torture, the Taliban commander cited legal analysis produced by the Office of Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice. He pointed out that the authors of this legal analysis are a respected federal judge on the second highest court in America and a professor at a top American law school. The Taliban commander also referred to the careful legal analysis of a Distinguished Professor of Law who concluded that waterboarding is not torture because U.S. trainers did it to their own troops "hundreds and hundreds of times."

This is so easy to pick apart I'm going to do it in world record time. This is like the 86 Celtics playing a jr high team. Yes, I just compared my blogging skills to the greatest basketball team to ever lace 'em up. It's a fact.

Now to break down the argument very clearly. While liberals cry about our interrogation techniques and make the case they might be used on Americans and civilians, the Taliban keeps on keepin on. Here, Brian Tamanaha, are real headlines of what the Taliban does.

Waterboarding doesn't look so bad now does it? In fact, if our interrogation techniques lead to the Taliban waterboarding people rather than beheading them, that's a trade off I'm sure the people in the links provided above would've taken. The problem is that the left has no idea what we're dealing with. They need to sit down with a terrorist and have him explain to them exactly what it is that they do, in the same manner as Joe Pescis character in Casino talking to Charlie the Banker. Maybe then they'll have an idea of what we're up against.
