During World War II both Japanese troops, especially the Kempeitai, and the officers of the Gestapo, the German secret police, used waterboarding as a method of torture. During the Japanese occupation of Singapore the Double Tenth Incident occurred. This included waterboarding, by the method of binding or holding down the victim on his back, placing a cloth over his mouth and nose, and pouring water onto the cloth. In this version, interrogation continued during the torture, with the interrogators beating the victim if he did not reply and the victim swallowing water if he opened his mouth to answer or breathe. When the victim could ingest no more water, the interrogators would beat or jump on his distended stomach.

Oh so you have moved on. You accuse them of being equal to Satan and Hitler but you decided to move on to the present. Maybe you can find some dirt on Obama/Biden.

The fact that you are so hastily willing to assume that I am an Obama supporter only further solidifies your position as one caught in the archaic right/left paradigm.

Just because the Justice Dept. says something, doesnt make legal/illegal. They simply review existing laws and interpret it in their favor, lawyers do it all the time.

Do you actually have anything to contribute to this thread?
So far all you have been is a smart ass.

The administration clearly engaged in psychological warfare on the American people. They mixed in the emotional outpouring of 9-11 with the issue of Iraq. If someone can't see this, they are just sleeping. Why did the issue with WMD's in Iraq come up after 9-11? Why did this whole concept of war on terror begin?
The patriot acts violate the constitution. Isn't that the supreme law of our nation?
Proof of psychological WARFARE by Bush/Cheney on the American people?
The war on terror began about 1 second after the first plane hit the first WTC.
IF the Patriot Acts violate the Constitution then why are they still in effect under a new admin and how did they ever pass Congress to begin with?
