9. Lt. Col. Malcom Nance speaking now

I believe he's the guy who instructed navy seals on how to resist torture if captured. Is saying outright that waterboarding is torture. There was a thread up on DU yesterday quoting him as daring any of the judiciary members to try and attack his character.

[babylonsister]

10. Yes, he's also the guy who said he won't take any crap from anyone.

He will be heard! :patriot:

12. Nance: The civilian leadership is operating under "Tom Clancy" rules

If it worked in a book, it will work in real life.

13. Army Field manual forbids specific techniques.. i.e. waterboarding

[annabanana]

14. Torture is not an effective way of getting intelligence.

15. I am watching the ranking member tapdance like HELL trying to

muddy the water.. "is it torture, or not really"

[annabanana]

16. Still trying to claim that torture works

[annabanana]

17. he is lying about the results of the torture of Kalid Sheik Muhammed

He gave up useful info after being "agressively questioned".

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

25. Now will any Democrat repudiate that? nt

[annabanana]

26. Nadler notes that Sheik Mohhamed confessed to EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN!

[annabanana]

18. "Would you authorize the use of waterboarding if you believed that

it was the only way of obtaining info that would save many many American lives. ?

[annabanana]

19. "These questions have clouded the issue" - good answer!

[annabanana]

20. i.e. too many "ifs". .

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. The feed is fuzzy and they're not using name graphics.. Who is the ranking member?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. lol! I just asked the same question! eom

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. Who is that Repug that's asking questions right now? He started

to spew info gathered from torture that I don't believe has been substantiated as being real terror plots.

[annabanana]

27. He made up a bunch of stuff to make the torture stop.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

30. Nadler got that on the record! nt

[annabanana]

28. The Arab world knows what we have done and it has made everything worse.
