Water-Boarding - No Apologies Necessary

I have stated here on the R2G that I am neither a lover or hater of President Obama.  Up until now I felt like he reigned in a gray area of dirty partisan politics.  Business as usual, nothing accomplished.  However, yesterday our leader sent me over the edge with his comments about the post 911 interrogations of people who our government thought may have some knowledge on who was responsible.  In his press conference he said,

"It was very clear that in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, we did some things that were wrong," he said. "We did a whole lot of things that were right, but we tortured some folks. We did some things that were contrary to our values." He added "We crossed the line and that needs to be understood and accepted. And we have to, as a country, take responsibility for that so we don't do it in the future."

Frankly when I read this I threw up three times.  WHAT! WHAT! ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME!  Of course we tortured the crap out of a few slimy people who had connections to Osama Bin Laden and his gang of murderers.  What else would he want us to do?  Give them cake and ice cream and ask them nicely to give us the information.  Of course not.  The only way to get info out of these scum bags is to strap them onto a wooden table and perform a little water-boarding.  In case you don't know what water-boarding is, Wikipedia defines it as;

Water-boarding is a form of torture, more specifically a type of water torture, in which water is poured over a cloth covering the face and breathing passages of an immobilized captive, causing the individual to experience the sensation of drowning. Water-boarding can cause extreme pain, dry drowning, damage to lungs, brain damage from oxygen deprivation, other physical injuries including broken bones due to struggling against restraints, lasting psychological damage, and death.[1] Adverse physical consequences can manifest themselves months after the event, while psychological effects can last for years.[2]

In my opinion, we did nothing wrong here.  These bastards killed 2,996 people, 246 on the planes, 2606 in the WTC Towers and 125 in the Pentagon in the 911 attack on the United States.  Two hundred and ninety two people died on the streets of New York due to falling debris or from hurling themselves out windows.  I still get pissed off thinking about what these son's of bitches did!  There will be no apologizes from me and there should be none from our government.  I say torture the ever living shit out of these pigs.  Once they give you what you need, turn them over to the American people for an old fashioned lynching.  President Obama, you should apologize to the American people for simply bringing this up.  Shame on you!

P.S. Chris, you will be happy with this R2G.
