Yeah, well, we already fired one of the assh**es and replaced him with a lying bitch. Not much of an improvement, but at least we're not inflicting jim talent on the rest of the country anymore.bond is on his way out as soon as his term is up.

Take a look at your comment above, you misspell the word 'use', you're hardly an intellectual giant yourself, sir.People like YOU are threats to everybody, I like how you sit there in all of your posts and condone torture, you do know that's what it is right? Torture, people wouldn't give up information if it wasn't torture, how do you think it goes? "Oh sir, that's mildly uncomfortable, here, here's what I know". And I like you brought up 'other peoples' torture techniques, you realize that many of your examples are pulled off by extremist morons who are the minority, right? What a cop out. Either way, continue buying into everything, condoning what these people do and sitting proud in your little chair probably with a few flags stuck around the place in the comfortable knowledge your government are protecting you from 'terrorism' all the time discounting the fact that your nation is bullying people, your countrymen are dying for stupid s**t and the rest of the world considers people like you a f**king joke. (ohhh, profanity)

Alright, for all those who say 'Well, he was just saying that there are different ways of doing it ..' name one way in which waterboarding someone is not torture. Just because some scumbag can rape your sister a thousand different ways, rape is still rape.

Indeed! Waterboarding is more often lethal than getting kicked in the nuts.

This loser is my senator, and he just got a nice letter because of this. We are being led by CRIMINALS. Take some of the people in prison for marijuana out and throw these scumbags in their place.
