I wonder what secrets dick cheney might cough up if gently waterboarded?
I'm not suggesting any harm to our fine vice president, because as we all know, waterboarding is a harmless but effective way to elicit secrets from people. Its certainly not torture, and I would never suggest torturing or harming an elected official, waterboarding by it's very nature is a necessary tool in the fight against Islamofascism and the glorious global war of terror, but it is certainly not torture. "The United States does not torture". g.w. bush. 2007.

I wonder if dick is the type that could take it, and not give up ANY secrets? Of if he's the kind that goes all weepy and blubbery and starts confessing instantly? Wouldn't it be cool to try this in a public way, say have an elected official who supports waterboarding actually try it on live t.v.? A reality show called, "So you think you can keep a secret"? Strap one of these republicans who salivates over and apologizes for waterboarding and other forms of 'soft torture' to the ol' waterboard and have Drew Carey host it.

Give lindsey graham a secret that only the producers and the audience know, say, mitch mc connel's secret, gay lifestyle, then strap him down and waterboard him for about 3 minutes to see if he spills the beans. Just THINK of the hilarious possibilities!

Waterboarding and other humane forms of torture are totally mainstream now, mothers are even discovering that a little waterboarding on Billy and Rachel will instantly get to the bottom of who shaved the neighbor's cat! And the children's welfare department can't do a damn thing about it cause its not cruel or unusual punishment, merely a harmless method of procuring secrets from reluctant children and terrorists. If the president says waterboarding is o.k., then by God its o.k. for our kids too.

But seriously folks, couldn't we waterboard a few folks and find out what really happened on you know when, and also maybe find out what the maniacs have planned next for us all?
