Tease.

Here’s a piece of the day to boggle at — Deroy Murdock at the NR talking about how necessary and nice waterboarding is. Charming.

Heading out to cruise with Hugh?

“Waterboarding is something of which every American should be proud.”
I almost thought that was a spoof: “War crimes–good for America!”
He’s just ripping off the Onion, right? Right?
Ned Raggett
I really don’t think he is. He appears to be dead serious.
Punchy
You use words like honor, code, and apparently “fuck” and “asshole”. You use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them for Punchy’s lines. You have neither the time nor the inclination to explain yourself to a bunch of goofs who rise and sleep under the blanket of the very blog that you provide, and then questions the manner in which you provide it. You would rather we just said thank you, and went on to DailyKos. Otherwise, you suggest we pick up a keyboard, and grab the Cheetos. Either way, you don’t give a damn what posts on beer we think we are entitled to.
We want you on this blog, we need you on this blog.

I’m going to send a letter to my local police department, suggesting they they lead the way on waterboarding criminal suspects of all kinds. It’s the natural next step, right?

Woo, that Deroy Murdock guy is a real piece of work. But yes, waterboarding was effective in getting KSM to confess to absolutely everything we asked him about. Well, either that, or the fact that the CIA has his two sons as well:
Hey, Deroy, do you have any children? No? How about a soul? Enjoy being a hack for today’s Republican party as well as a second generation immigrant of Costa Rican descent and a gay black man who opposes the drug war and claims to be a ‘libertarian’ conservative–I can see why you might have desperately needed someone else to hate there. Party over principle, man, keep that money rolling in–never mind about the kids, the CIA has “child psychologists on hand at all times and they are given the best of [torture]”. Your tax dollars at work!
sparky
Sure. And if it’s so great, hell, maybe it can be a motivational tool, too!
For example, “Glengarry Glen Ross” should be re-written to include waterboarding, and edit out all those bad curse words. Much more uplifting.

Wait, the guy who wanted terror-weld the Brooklyn Bridge? This is the guy Murdock uses in the defense of torture? Wow. Ok, I guess he’s got me sold. Just a shame he didn’t use the Kung-Fu Bible Fellowship Miami Seven.

Oh, man. It gets better. Shorter Murdock: “Don’t worry, we’ll never waterboard a Republican. Just those poor scary brown people WHO WANT TO KILL US!”

Marc Lynch writes another post on Iraq worth reading: Maliki: enough about reconciliation

See, I have no idea why this is appropriate. I guess it’s a natural extension of, “When foreigners do it to us, it’s torture, but when we do it to them, it’s enhanced interrogation.” Damned situational ethics–it’s so hard to keep up.
Dreggas
I wouldn’t mind if fat cat tax evaders like Helmsley were waterboarded. Hell I think some of em should be sent to Pelican Bay or San Quentin. You know, a real prison not places with cutesy nicknames like “camp cupcake” or “club fed”.

Kucinich just bought a proposal to impeach Cheney for high crimes and misdismeanors. This should be fun. I hope they impeach his ass.
