The Waterboarding of Dick Chenney

It is the end of another long week, and as I sip on my Pomegranate Green Tea I must take a moment and reflect once again. I have to comment that if you have not tried said tea before, it is Arizona brand and found at Walmart. I highly suggest it to any that are even slightly fond of tea drinks.
Now that my product promotion is done, I must say that one of the most intriguing things that caught my eye this week was the issue of waterboarding. No, I am not referring to another version of waterskiing. Rather, it seems that it is a highly controversial interrogation technique. Though I have not been an active participant, from what I gather, it consists of taking a subject of suspicion and either dunking his head repeatedly in water or pouring water repeatedly over his head. Now I am not sure the exacts on how they do it, but I do know it gives said subject the illusion of drowning.
This and several other fun interrogation tactics came under scrutiny yet again this past week as our beloved President released a bunch of "secret" documents affirming the fact that we did, in fact, do this to known terrorists while they were being detained for their parts in acts of terror- oops, I mean, man-caused disasters. Some of the other fun activities included sleep depravation(who needs sleep anyway?), and putting a man in a small enclosed space with a caterpiller while making him believe that the bug was a stinging little creature that was out to get him(isn't this a common tactic used by parents?).
Now I am not sure what the purpose of releasing these documents is. After all, we have already established the fact that this was going on. The democrats repeatedly reminded us of our nation's lack of a conscience for allowing this "torture" during the last election. So it's not like it's new information. I suppose that one could say that it gives President Barry one more thing to apologize for, and that seems to be something he is very fond of doing. But I am pretty sure he has already apologized in some way, form or fashion for this. So though I am not a conspiracy theorist, I am left to wonder if there is some deeper reason besides the obvious, something sinister and dark; or perhaps they are just providing cover for something they don't want us to see.
But that is for another time. Come, let us discuss the current theory of torture 101 since it is such an exciting subject at the moment.First off, I would ask this: Is this really torture? Well, is it? Now I am not asking if this is some game that you would like to play. I think it only obvious that no one would actually want to be the "victim" of these "crimes". But does that make it torture? For example, I am not fond of the idea of listening to Rosie O'Donnel spouting her crack-pot theories, but that does not necessarily mean it is torture. (well, maybe...) So let's look at some facts: first off, there is always a doctor on hand. Second, no one actually dies. Third, no one is actually hurt. Yeah they get scared a little. Yeah they may suffer some mental trauma, as they THINK they are going to die. But... well, when I think of torture, I think of things like, well let me see... fingers and toes chopped off... beaten half to death... burns... you know, things that members of the underground church in China and other communist and muslim nations are constantly faced with every day. But no one says anything about that torture... Only the supposed "torture" of those who want to destroy our nation in the name of "Allah". I wonder why?
Second thing I must ask is, what is the end result of this unethical treatment? Well, unfortunately, our President has refused to this point to release the documents that show what has been accomplished. But former Vice President Dick Chenney, Col. Oliver North, and other CIA officials have been anywhere that will listen to them explaining at least one accomplishment. Our good friend Kaleed Shake Mohammed(or however you spell his name), the mastermind of 9/11, was waterboarded. This tactic was used because he didn't want to talk and be friends. So the CIA threw some water on his face and all of a sudden... Shamwow, we get information about a terror cell in the U.S. that was planning another attack. The plan was to hijack another plane and crash it into the tallest building in Los Angeles. After we busted the terror cell, we found all information and evidence to verify all that Mr. mohammed said during his facial swim. But it was so unethical how we did it- the way in which we saved God only knows how many American lives. According to V.P. Chenney, there are more details like this in the unreleased, unedited version of these reports. I wonder why they don't want us to see them?
And I know that everyone is all upset because of how unethical this treatment of our prisoners is. But I must ask this: We give them 3 meals a day, we give them comfortable cells, we give them lawyers and every kindness we can afford because after all, it is a sin to disobey the geneva convention; but what about the outrage over the unethical treatment given to Americans that are their prisoners? Oh, I forgot, we don't know what all they did because the last thing we see of them is them screaming for mercy as their heads are slowly sawn off while their coward executioners wear masks and chant allah allah allah like some stupid broken reject toy at the store that no one wants to buy. And we are the ones apologizing?! Oh, but I suppose we provoked them into sawing off people's heads. Yeah, my bad, it's our fault so let's be sure to give them a steak dinner for it.
My final thoughts on this end here. We as Americans are so upset about pouring water on someone's face that has committed crimes against this Country, in an effort to save more American lives. Yet when a domestic terrorist pours a saline solution into a mother's womb, resulting not in a wet face but an American child being chemicly burned slowly and painfully to death, as it thrashes about in it's suffering, there are no concerned voices from Congress. When we hear of a potential suicide bomber going through sleep deprivation we tremble in anger; yet the American child that no longer sleeps as the horrendous noise of the vacuum aspirator used by the domestic terrorist steals his life and sucks him into oblivion, well, he is left alone in his sorrow. Our anger boils over and congress demands prosecution for those who would dare place a bug in the same room as those who want to destroy our Country, but the young American child that is ripped to pieces and then pinned together like he is part of some sick and twisted bug collection, has only the cold eyes of evil men to look after him- to insure that the doctor of death didn't miss a hand in the tomb that was his mother's womb.
Yes, we are concerned about the well-treatment of terrorists in our Country. They have rights, after all. Perhaps this is why we allow so many of these terrorists to run around our Country in a cheap doctor's disguise.
America, America, your children cry out in pain, cry out for mercy, cry out for justice. Where, oh America, is your priorities?
