Limbaugh defends methods in Guantanamo today

[Roland99]

Caught a bit while heading out for lunch.

Rush was comparing the drip-drip-drip form of water torture to his having dropped water balloons on trick-or-treaters.

:mad:

1. Waterboarding sounds like harmless fun. Perhaps we can convince

that drug addict to take a ride. Tell him we'll give him a few pills when he's done.

2. Rush should enter a drug rehab, let him dry out!

While he is in there shaking from withdraw, they should let tourist view him and explain that he is trying to Break Dance!

[Ravenseye]

3. It's all in good fun

I mean what....are these guys complaining abotu not seeing their families in four years?

Well they shouldn't have become involved in a civil war in their own country prior to U.S. involvement then shouldn't they?

[Roland99]

4. Ah...found what I was looking for.

Chinese water torture is the popular name for a method of torture in which water is slowly dripped on to a person's forehead, driving the victim insane. This form of torture was described by Hippolytus de Marsiliis in Italy in the 16th century. The torture in dripping water is the slow rate at which the water flows. The victim can almost predict when the next drop will fall and a sense of tension builds up. When the drop finally does fall, a sense of shock and relief follows, only to be replaced with more tension about the next drop. The release of tension (no matter how small it is) prevents the victim from withdrawing inside themselves. As the torture does not require interaction on the part of the torturer it can be done continuously, without breaks.

9. So if the torturer, er interrogator doesn't need to be there what's

the point, if you are trying to get information?

[Roland99]

10. I guess they have a lot of blank cassette tapes for the recorders

11. Proved plausible on Mythbusters

It totally freaked out one of the participants even though she knew she could say "stop" at any time.

[Roland99]

13. oooo...is there a link for that one??

Found it.

15. Thanks...I actually sent an email to him about this

I wish I'd included a passage about Oxycontin maybe dulling the pain. :)

5. Listening to Rush is pure torture.

I just don't have words left to express my disdain for that lying, insensitive, soulless, totally lacking in compassion, miserable excuse for a human being.

Okay, I found a few! Now my wish for Rush: May he one day find himself in a place like Gitmo, being subjected to the treatment he views as "just a few frat-house pranks." And may it happen soon.

6. Maybe we ought to send Rush to Gitmo, since their

interrogaton methods seem so harmless to him. I wonder if they can get him to the the truth, any truth whatsoever.

:evilgrin:

7. It sounds like his sorority pranks shtick from last year

It still doesn't wash.

8. How did you stomach both Limbaugh AND lunch? n/t

[Roland99]

12. Well, lunch was just eaten at my desk.

I always try to pick up on what the AM radio talking heads are blathering about at lunch. Usually good for a laugh.

14. The pigboy should be defending itself in court

actually shoud've been there long ago, then by now he'd be finding out about the anal cist torture. I wonder if he's trembling with anticipation of bubba's sausage terrorizing his hemorrhoids?
