Alas, not really. I believe that Johannesburg, South Africa, has the highest crime rate of any major city and that South Africa has the highest crime rate of any country in the world.

Why is it difficult then for some people working for our Prez to say waterboarding is torture?

Our military says it's not OK... why does a Bush appointee have such trouble saying "yes, it's torture"?

Because words have meaning and when you stretch them beyond all concievable recognition, truth is the first victim.

If water boarding is torture, what is this?:

Why do you suppose it is that you're so concerned that KSM had to be waterboarded when he lied to our interrogator and I'm concerned with stopping REAL human rights abuses?

Guess where Al-Qaeda learn those methods from?

Lets just say when you create a monster, it does come back to bite you in the butt...

If you said The Muslim Brotherhood, you're correct, although many of them grew along on the fly.
So what?

I agree. American prisons should look like this:

Yes there is a place where you wont be treated like a child.

You're avoiding my question. Why did we have a Bush appointee have difficulty in saying waterboarding is torture when the military clearly says it is?

Because "the military" DOES NOT say it's torture. It's BANNED in the Army Field Manual, but it is NOT defined as torture.

Why do you resort to making untrue statements and trying to argue the meaning of words?

We're in a war against some of the most vile people in the world and you're clearly more interested in painting our efforts in a bad light to score political points than doing what's necessary to WIN.

How can you possibly still use the same word to describe waterboarding as removing a man's eye without anesthetic or crushing a man's head in a vice?

So, you're saying it's not torture then? It's O.K. for the police to use it to extract information from witnesses and suspects?

Did you ever stop to think that stuff like this might actually incite more people to become terrorists rather than retard them?
