Watch the talking heads at Fox laugh and joke about how absurd it is to use a word like “torture” to describe bringing human beings to the brink of suffocation by drowning and keeping them from sleeping for 11 days at a stretch ( Mike Huckabee to Ken and Barbie, who sit there giggling and cracking up: “They’ve been putting me under sleep deprivation for years now and it’s about time that we uncovered it!”) — and then at the same time exclaim to each other about how effective this nothing-close-to-torture stuff is at getting prisoners to “spill the beans.” Making sense is not a priority with these morons.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spNxeOoHPKk&feature=player_embeddedSetting aside the journalistic malpractice, just on a human level, the people in this video are monsters. I’m using that word with intention and deliberation. These are evil, wicked, wretched human beings — all the more so for the one who claims to be a devout Christian. He is no more a Christian than I am.
