Equal Opportunity Water-boarding
Karl Rove defends mock drowning once again in his new memoir. After all, we do it to our own troops during training to help them learn to withstand torture. Not that it is.
A more forgiving assessment from Peter Feaver. Helpful roundup of responses from The Atlantic Wire.






It’s not mock drowning. It is drowning. The interrogator just normally stops the waterboarding before it kills the detainee, but death is not a condition necessary to define drowning.
On a recent Saturday night, my wife and I visited Town Center in West Des Moines, Iowa and browsed through several of the stores.
Since it had been years since I had visited a [URL=http://boycottspencergifts.org/]teen[/URL] store, I walked into the store and was completely surprised, appalled, and disgusted with the merchandise available. I knew they carried adult items and novelty gifts, but I had no idea the selection was so varied, so explicit, so offensive, and so readily available to anyone who entered the store.
Both my wife and I are in our 40′s, don’t consider ourselves “prudes” or overly conservative, and believe we have a strong sense of what is appropriate for our two teenage children.
Neither one of us could believe what was on display and available to any age shopper merely feet from the door at this one. I was sickened thinking our children, as well as every child who visits Town Center, have access to the store and the items on display.
We truly believe this type of merchandise should be limited to adult oriented stores that have strict age requirements and are closely monitored and regulated.
If you must, visit the store yourself and observe the items for sale.Please consider taking measures to help eliminate the adult items, products which promote drug usage, and the other offensive merchandise from this business.
They may be offering these items for sale and staying within the lette of the law, but responsible citizens need to take a stand, change the laws, and reduce or completely eliminate the availability of these items at public and family places such as Town Center.

If I go into a shop that has adult-oriented items on display, will I find a copy of the Peter Feaver DVD, starring Jeff Stryker?
Sorry, ’twas I above.
Well, that was quick with the comment spamming and whatnot.
From Dr. Feaver’s article:
Um, yeah, I think it pretty much did go disastrously wrong, especially for all the now-dead Iraqis who happened to be on the short end of this particular security strategy stick.
Fuck you, Peter Feaver.
wow, insta-spam.
Yeah! Because it shouldn’t be okay to abduct people, illegally torture them for years without due process, and not have to tell anybody about what we did to them. What kind of Nazis could be in favor of that! Thank all that is righteous for the ACLU! There is no more freedom in this country, but they keep trying anyway.
