From The Times story it seems that out of over 1,000 prisoners just 3 were waterboarded.
ReplyDeleteThats tough on the 3 amigos but hardly something to get hysterical about. Still I guess The Guardian is short of an orgasm or two these days.

ReplyDeleteYou're rather missing the point that the Times is acting as a publisher of Bush's tendentious self-exculpatory memoirs, rather than a publisher of actual journalism.
It seems to me that you either defend torture, or you condemn it. The 'there was only a bit of it and it wasn't really torture' position is essentially dishonest.
Or would you rather just not know what went on ?
Very grateful for the link. Thank you!
