America used to think waterboarding was a war crime!

In 1947, the United States charged a Japanese officer, Yukio Asano, with war crimes for carrying out another form of waterboarding on a U.S. civilian. The subject was strapped on a stretcher that was tilted so that his feet were in the air and head near the floor, and small amounts of water were poured over his face, leaving him gasping for air until he agreed to talk.

"Asano was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) told his colleagues last Thursday during the debate on military commissions legislation. "We punished people with 15 years of hard labor when waterboarding was used against Americans in World War II," he said.

Condi OKd waterboarding and LIED about it

WASHINGTON – Then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice verbally OK'd the CIA's request to subject alleged al-Qaida terrorist Abu Zubaydah to waterboarding in July 2002, a decision memorialized a few days later in a secret memo that the Obama administration declassified last week.

Rice's role was detailed in a narrative released Wednesday by the Senate Intelligence Committee. It provides the most detailed timeline yet for how the CIA's harsh interrogation program was conceived and approved at the highest levels in the Bush White House.

The new timeline shows that Rice played a greater role than she admitted last fall in written testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee.

The narrative also shows that dissenting legal views about the severe interrogation methods were brushed aside repeatedly.

You know - when my ship went across the equator - we did a lot of stuff that could be considered toture...

crawling through the garbage chute, no sleep for 24 hours, sitting on the bow, 2 am in the morning, getting sprayed by ice cold salt water for hours, getting spanked by lengths of fire hose by shellbacks, getting your face shoved into a fat babies bellybutton.

ahhh the wonders of a polywog, the wonders of the being a shellback.

most people are quick to jump on the torture bandwagon, when what they are complaining about may well be part of a frat party hazing.

I doubt if any of the detainees volunteered to be tortured.

Shepherd Smith is the only guy I really liked working for Fox, is hour long news problems was mostly facts and no opinions or speculations. Wonder why he is working for Fox?

Feel this thread should deal more with his reaction to his co-workers and gives me even more respect for the man. That no-spin jerk really spins my head as well of the rest of them. Not news, not fair and balanced, but brainwashing with that network.
