    No, if you read TFA it shows this is not about whether waterboarding is torture or not. It's about Torture with a capital T, including the electrodes and other crap in Abu Ghraib. That we have any Supreme Court Justice who doesn't see it as a unconstitutional travesty should make you sick.

  • frerad1776, on 04/30/2008, -0/+2Scalia is a fascist and a member of Opus Dei which was founded by Spanish fascists to replace the discredited Inquisition. It is little wonder that he supports torture.
