GEORGE Bush has admitted that 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded during his administration, and he wouldn’t hesitate to give the order again. LINK
--------------------
Sometime back a photograph was flashed around the world of a fat-bodied religious cleric, slumped over in his chair looking as if he had been up all night. He looked to be wearing a pair of bib overalls made up of a furrow of back, and shoulder hair that stuck out of the over sized neck-slit in his Thobe style pajamas. The subject in question was an Al Qaeda sympathizer and contributing member of their Muslim fundamentalist-zealot hate machine, his name was Khaled Sheikh Mohammed. When captured he had a letter from Osama bin Laden, stuck inside his pocket, leading some officials in the government both here and there to think that he the Sheikh might know where bin Laden was hiding.
The day he was placed in front of the world’s camera, it was around two weeks after his real capture; after all, to tell the world of his capture would have caused most of his jahadist good-buddies to crawl under the nearest rock, and just lay low for a while. Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, however wanted to project a masculine posture while in the Jahadist world, He strutted around in a flowing dark Bisht, hung loosely over his thobe, which is the under shirt that is so typical of Arab men’s dress; Underneath all this he would have worn a pair of sirwal or white underpants. However, when first interrogated the most reverent cleric Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, was reported to have been wearing a pair of over sized ladies panties; one would wonder if he knew Rosie O. Do you think the thought ran through his mind about his mother stopping him at the front door that fateful morning, and telling him to wear clean underwear, just in case the Americans captured him? After being captured, the sight alone of the Sheikh standing there in skin tight light-blue colored panties decorated with tiny yellow smiley faces, and the words “It’s Wednesday and I’m in the mood” printed across his back side would have been cruel and unusual punishment in its self under most if not all international treaties. Surely that alone most likely was a violation of the laws and customs of war.
A legend and bad ass in his own mine, Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, wanted to play the macho warrior. However after a reception with some professional Intelligent Officers working out of Egypt, the Sheikh unloaded what knowledge he had of Osama bin Laden, and gave up all his boys in the Jihad religious-hood. Sheikh Mohammed, liked to brag that the interrogators had to water board him five times, just to get any information from him. In reality one trip to the slant-sled lasting less than ten seconds found Khaled Sheikh Mohammed coughing up the goods on everyone he ever knew. Remember the 2002 bombing of a nightclub in Bali by extremist religious freaks, where they murdered 202 innocent people? Well Sheikh Mohammed, gave up the most wanted man in Asia who was a highest-ranking Al Qaeda terrorist in Indonesian named Hambali, also known as Riduan Isamuddin. This Jahadist killer was a top prize and the authorities immediately turned him over to the CIA. Sheikh Mohammed also gave up many other of his confidants in the Middle East, and Europe. In reference to Khaled’s water-boarding one CIA officer who was there said, “He,” Mohammed “didn’t resist. He sang right away. He cracked real quick.” Mohammed spilled his guts about a planned attack on Los Angles. Boy would that have upset Glover, Penn, Whoopie and the other military bashers. They would have been screaming their liberal rears off if someone had harmed their delicate little bordello of slime.
All countries worldwide, who are signatories to the United Nation Convention Against Torture, have agreed to certain prohibitions on torture. To summarize this quote “International Law,” unquote in as few a words as possible says in effect that under “----no exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture.” Many of signatories also subscribe to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights have also agreed to the fifth article of the document which states that, “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.” Further more the United States subscribes to Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 113C, § 2340 Prev § 2340, Definitions; something to the following.
(1) “torture” means an act committed by a person acting under the color of law specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering (other than pain or suffering incidental to lawful sanctions) upon another person within his custody or physical control;
(2) “severe mental pain or suffering” means the prolonged mental harm caused by or resulting from— (A) the intentional infliction or threatened infliction of severe physical pain or suffering;
(B) the administration or application, or threatened administration or application, of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or the personality; (C) the threat of imminent death; or (D) the threat that another person will imminently be subjected to death, severe physical pain or suffering, or the administration or application of mind-altering substances or other procedures calculated to disrupt profoundly the senses or personality; and
(3) “United States” means the several States of the United States, the District of Columbia, and the commonwealths, territories, and possessions of the United States.
Certain members of the State Department, the CIA, and personnel with in the United States Department of Defense do not subscript to practice of collecting intelligences via the procedure known as water-boarding. Most of these critics spout the same rhetoric that water-boarding and or other “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques.” produce only what you want to hear. Now what does that mean? What we want to hear is what is going on inside their ranks, etc., correct? Well water-boarding contrary to what you have heard being propagated by the liberal anti-military sexual intellectuals’ works and it works one hundred percent, every time. One naysayer lie is that one of the most elite military units in the United States Military has banned water-boarding in their training because it is ineffective. Bull Manure! It is alive an well in specialized schools for hard core, balls to the wall super warriors who are awash in testosterone. Many have failed this portion of the course as it is a demoralizing event that causes special operational personnel to some time loose sight of their abilities. I am not chastising these warriors with that statement at all. What I am trying to point out is that everyone fails this test. There is an inherent fear of drowning, and water-boarding brings out this most basic fear.
It is very simple. Just lay the subject on a board, a bed, a table, or on the ground tilting his head downward. Cover the subject’s eyes tightly, tie his hands, arms, and legs securely and immobilize his head. Stuff a rag, sock, towel, or his own underwear down his throat until he or she gags. With his head immobilize and inverted slightly, eyes covered, and a mouth full of underwear one should begin by pouring a rivet of warm water on the cloth in the subject’s mouth. Continue by having a fellow interrogator pour water very gently over his chest or lower extremities, but not forgetting to pour water slowly over his face and mouth. There is an instant sensation of drowning, and the average length of time a subject can hold out is less than fourteen seconds. Again, there is an inherent fear of drowning buried in the deepest realms of our mind.
In reality, there are certain things that work, and work really well. A recent conversation with some high-ranking military personnel and myself drifted to torture. One of the men agreed with me, but elaborated both his and my feeling jokingly. It is time to come clean when you see the bad guys bring out a portable Honda electrical generator, a bucket stuffed full of wet rags, about twelve feet of speaker cord attached too a set of alligator clips designed to not slip off a wet scrotum sac when properly applied. That is the point where I ask for a stack of Big Chief writing pads, the largest box of Crayola available, and about three dozen sharpened number-two lead pencils. When asked why by the interrogators why I need so much writing material I am going to tell them to pull up their chairs, get a extra box of recording tapes near by because I am going to tell you stuff, and draw you pictures of stuff that you ain’t going to believe. Now that may be a little bit of a stretch, but you will talk, and you will tell all when put in the hands of a trained interrogator.
As I said most of the critics that spout the same old rhetoric that water-boarding and or other “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques.” produce only what you want to hear. Once more Bull Hockey! You hear that same old crap-trap diatribe from the liberal media and whinny ares leftist do-gooders. Almost to the person it comes out as, ".....when you torture someone they only tell you what you want to know." You miss guided simple minded dumb-masses [say that quickly three times] do not have the slightest idea of what you are blubbering about.
Of course they will tell you what they want you to know. They will also tell you what they do not want you to know as well. They, you, I, almost 99% to the 'man' will give up their darkest innermost secrets. They will sell out their mother, their father, and their religion. When you are stripped naked, and tied down on a cold metal table, and the interrogator walks in with a pair of lopper-shears, an ice pick, a pair of needle nose pliers, a foot pump hooked to a five gallon bucket of chilled Saline brine, and a stainless steel probe for injecting the icy fluid up your anal canal, YOU WILL tell the interrogator everything he want to know.
United States President George W. Bush signed an executive order on July 20, 2007, which banned torture during interrogation of terror suspects. These guidelines for interrogating a subject did not specifically ban water-boarding. The executive order did refer to torture as defined by 18 United States Code 2340, which includes in it wording "the threat of imminent death," as well as the fact that the U.S. Constitution also bans cruel and unusual punishment.
updates: THURSDAY JANUARY 21, 2009. PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA SETS THE TONE FOR A NEW POLICY ON UNITED STATES PROCEDURES WHEN IT COMES TO ENEMY COMBATANTS AND TORTURE..
updates: TUESDAY APRIL 21, 2009. PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA STRIKES DOWN WATER BOARDING, FACE GRABBING, HITTING, MAKING VERBAL THREATS, USING INSECTS ie: putting a Wolly-worm Caterpillars in a cell with a Muslim Terrorist, AND OTHER FORMS OF "ABUSIVE TREATMENTS." T(I am laughing my ass off with the Muslim Terrorist at this along with you.----TRUE DIRECTIVE)
The best I remember all these very forms of control were used by Sister Mary Louisa, against me and my friends while we were in school. She did not water-board any of us, mainly because she may not have known of this tactic. She would however pick us up from our chairs by pinching a chunk of our ear between her forefinger and thumb. Sneak up behind us, and whacking us in the back of the head with her open palm was common place. Smacking your knuckles with a wooden ruler rated right up there with open palm ruler slaps. Showing us how to milk a mouse using our little finger, taught breath control while reciting a dozen Hail Marys full of Grace.
Now that was terrorism. Do you think I have grounds to sue the Pope?
