Snow Fails to Spin Cheney Waterboarding ConfirmationPosted on Oct 30, 2006Tony Snow couldn’t convince reporters that Dick Cheney wasn’t talking about waterboarding when he confirmed the practice of “dunking” suspects in water. (See second item of Al Kamen’s column.) A CBS reporter asked, “So ‘dunk in the water’ means what? We have a pool now at Guantanamo and they go swimming?”

Idiot?? I am not the one that thinks that these were innocent people huddled in mud-huts waiting to be abducted and then taken for YEARS of torture. You say this with enough conviction to make me believe that you were in GTMO or Afghanistan and witnessed this first hand. No? Then obviously you are basing your statements on what; the media? Who is the idiot? Google the Al Qaeda hand book; I believe it is chapter 18 that instructs these poor people of what to do and say when released by the infidels. You probably believe that all the poor souls in our prison system are innocent too. Why just ask them, they’ll tell you so!

Tony, seriously, just because some guys did something committing suicide does not allow you to torture many others to find out who put them up to it. You’re as heartless as the pigs who committed the act and the ones who put them up to it put together if you support torturing people collected at random on the battlefield. Maybe it’s you who needs to know how it feels to be a helpless victim. And don’t say you know because you “lost someone” those people died horribly as a part of a focussed terror attack, these people huddle in mud-huts waiting to be abducted and then taken for YEARS of torture until they’re ultimately killed or released back to the same conditions. Idiot.

Dick Cheney is not one of the heartless bastards that killed over 3000 Americans on September 11th. Obviously you did not loose a family member or friend. Perhaps you should be placed in the cell with one of these poor fellows down in GTMO after which we will see if you still feel the same.

Just another “Snow Job”. I guess maybe they might want to consider supporting torture.
Report thisIt’s bound to be umpopular. No wonder Cheney needs a pacemaker, he’s heartless.
