Torture Memos: Waterboarding

www.e-junkie.com #109! For this song, I took language directly from the torture memos. Lyrics below. the detainee is lying on a gurney that’s inclined at an angle: 10 to 15 degrees a cloth is placed over the detainee’s face cold water is poured on the cloth the wet cloth creates a barrier through which it is difficult or in some cases not possible for the detainee to breathe if the detainee makes an effort to defeat the technique by twisting his head to the side and breathing out the corner of his mouth the interrogator may cup his hands around the detainees nose and mouth in which case it would not be posible for him to breathe! As we explained in the Section 2340A Memorandum, “pain and suffering” (as used in Section 2340) is best understood as a single concept, not distinct concepts of “pain” as distinguished from “suffering”… The waterboard, which inflicts no pain or actual harm whatsoever, does not, in our view inflict “severe pain or suffering”. Even if one were to parse the statute more finely to treat “suffering” as a distinct concept, the waterboard could not be said to inflict severe sufering. The waterboard is simply a controlled acute episode, lacking the connotation of a protracted period of time generally given to suffering.

    Have caught a few of your video’s and I think for the most part they are very excellent!!
    I like the more serious ones with political overtones. Keep up the good work , and I haven’t seen a list of what you deem the better of your work.

    LOL people need to get a grip. This waterboarding malarkey is used to train navy seals. I wonder how many people have been allowed to die from waterboarding, when in comparison to the amount of people who have died as a direct result of terrorist acts?
    If waterboarding one guy for 20seconds and him coming out of the other end alive is what it takes to potentially save hundreds of lives, I say do it.

    @fcstech Officially viewed by the United States goverment. That is, US Constitution considers itself as universal rights and as such applies to non-US citizens when considered in crimes committed by US citizens.

  15. fcstech says:

    @fcstech Correction It should read The Constition DOES NOT belong

  16. fcstech says:

    @Anastius Officially viewed by whom? please answer that! There are universal human rights as mandated by the UN and other treaties just not the US constition. The US Constitution is sovereign law and therefore applies to US territories(and any one inside them) and US citizens anywhere(as to there responsibilities). The Constitution does belong or apply to non US citizen living outside the US. The US does not make the laws for the hole planet.

  17. Anastius says:

    @fcstech Also, the US Constitution is officially viewed as a list of natural rights belonging to every person regardless of nationality or location.

    Fine, stop water boarding, and continue killing the terrorists in the field of battle, take no prisoners, sounds good to me! If we soldiers weren’t willing to put our lives in danger for you folks whom are opinionated about the way we fight then you’d be drafted to go fight.

    your world consists of muslim extremists and bush the chickenhawk hero…!
    200 alqueda scared you to death,..
    our generation faced the nazis and the kamikaze and didn`t brake the Geneva Convention, moron!!
    except being an expert in name calling you are just a stupid sick retarded clown!!

  20. PACHONGA9 says:

    Go live in your perfect world, no torture, no Bush, and when the Muslim fanatics come to destroy you, youll wish you had stayed in USA. Your slime on my shoe if you think America isnt great. And keep your Idiotic remarks about what i “proberably” am. You have no clue so dont try to be all coolcat…retard.

  21. log140 says:

    the information they give you is CRAP … i bet cheney, bush and you included would confess anything one would ask you…
    but probably you think you are a hero :-) )
    i know argument like, we prosecuted others for doing this to our soldiers doesn`t count to you.. so what made America great was thrown over board, because mindless morons like you bush and cheney don`t have a brain or are sick kind of ppl who enjoy torture..

  22. PACHONGA9 says:

    I aint saying its no big deal you mindless idiot. It IS a big deal!! thats Six seconds of phycological fear. Six Seconds to get priceless information. Go hug a tree you Idiot.

  23. log140 says:

    If you like those methods so much, why don`t you just hang out with them.. i don`t see any difference between them and you!!
    don`t talk about what you don`t understand.. the last hero who wanted to show us, pouring water on his face was no big deal:  lasted 6 seconds!!

  24. PACHONGA9 says:

    Oh yeah, just pretend that it dousnt squeeze out information from people who may kill others. I think i would be okay to pour some water on someones face and they WONT die instead of hundreds of others who WOULD be killed. Hang out with those muslim fanatics for awhile and youll be all for water boarding. Dont hate what you DONT KNOW…stupid.
