Cain and Bachmann say that they would use waterboarding (Paul says it's torture; Huntsman agrees). |

Bachmann and Cain acting like the good Christians they are. :puke:
Edit: include closed parenthesis
Edit 2: change Hunt to Huntsman (where is my mind?)

4. I see what you did there. ;) |

Actually, while thinking about it, I think the worldwide financial elite are more dangerous than international terrorism.
Quote me on that.
And actually, I call the financial elite, "financial terrorists."

6. I know ... I've done a lot of research on it. |

Waterboarding is illegal. We have tried other nations for it, and we have even tried domestic Sheriff's departments for it.
This nation selectively uses the law whenever possible.

7. If we had prosecuted our own war criminals maybe Bachmann |

8. They're above the law ... |

The whole meme about "enhanced interrogation techniques" is mind-blowing. I mean, it's not enhanced. It's fucking torture, our newspeak notwithstanding.

Anyone who claims that it's not torture has never been waterboarded. I had it done to me (on a dare) and it is no joke. I lasted 5 seconds...I thought they were drowning me.
