Wow, it's not torture, it's Coercion. I can't believe I was ever upset
:sarcasm:
I guess that's the new "MEME", but a dumbass blonde on Maher and convince people that it's not torture it's coercion - we're going to gently beat the shit out of people in hopes the unload some form of the truth that may or may not help the US
6. Dems can counter the RW framing by asking one simple question
(I posted this in the other thread - I really think the Dems need to start calling out the Repugs on this issue)
The question: "If it's not torture - merely 'coercion tactics' - would it be alright with you if other nations used those tactics on captured US soldiers or US citizens arrested in their countries?"
The fact is ... once we cross that line, other countries WILL use those tactics against US soldiers and perhaps even US citizens they've arrested. How can we possibly bitch about it? If WE set the new standard, we can't complain when it's used against us! :-(
5. She said "We aren't cutting off limbs or killing them or anything"
I guess if we eventually sentence prisoners in one piece and alive, they can't call it "torture"
If these compassionate conservatives want to redefine torture, they have to understand it will be the new standard applied to our soldiers unfortunate enough to find themselves in enemy hands.
I don't think they're gonna like hearing that a Marine was water boarded.
In fact I think if an American soldier was dressed in women's underware and the photo was on Al Jazeera....They'd be screamin' for nukes.
