David Rivkin says “yes” to water boarding
\neven after Abu Ghraib
\neven when our courts throw out confessions
\nobtained from torture
\neven when it is against National
\nand International Law
\ni note the only time Rivkin stuttered
\nthis morning on C-SPAN
\nwas when a caller asked him
\n“why don’t you subject yourself to water boarding”
\ni hope Rivkin doesn’t call himself a Christian
\nwhich means, by essence, “following Christ”
\ncause torture is NOT what Christ would do
\nwho can ask for mercy on their souls
\nwhen they gave no mercy?<\/p>\n
Why and oh why
\nwhen we know torture elicits false information
\ndo “they” use it?
\nTheir can be no other reason than
\nthey want to use this false information
\nto pretend new “terrorists” threats
\nfor no other reason
\nthan to secure
\n“their” absolute power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
