what's wrong with waterboarding?

These Republicans captured an alleged Al Queda official named Al Libi, took him to Egypt, waterboarded him to "confess" that Iraq had offered to train Al Queda in chemical and biological warfare which was not true) and used that as the centerpiece of Powell's speech to justify invading Iraq.

read today: "By allowing Libi to be tortured, US officials made a pact with the devil.That bargain has not only cost us our national soul, but has contributed indirectly but surely, to the loss of more than 2100 Americans in Iraq."

It also has increased out debt by more than $225 BILLION so far and forced us to fight them on their ground, lowering respect for us throught the world. All military commanders and most civilian leaders say we cannot win with the military alone or by being alone in the world. But,.macho still plays in Peoria.
