[quote]You are not using it on your own troops.[/quote] It is the exact use on our troops and our enemies. we are given information to withhold and in almost every case we give it up. You see it was invented to train our troops and then it was tried on our enemies. waterboarding has been used on our operators since the 70's during President Carters administration. We did not start using it on our enemies until the late 80's because it was effective and caused no harm when done correct

[quote]There is also evidence that they hid e-mails from Freedom of Information Act requests.[/quote] Not true! One of the e-mails states they will destroy the records rather than allow peer review. Another states that figures have been altered to reach the proper conclusion. It is a game to fool people. why they did this I don't know but I do know the data is not correct as stated in some of my articles last year. Man made climate change is a hoax that has been going on since

As a former active duty U. S. Marine, I will state that all SpecOps people go through several levels of training. A 5 day course in escape and evasion, a 2 week course that includes capture and interogation, and a 30 day course. the last two include waterboarding as part of the training. It continues to this day, my question is that if this is so bad that we can't use it on our enemies why are we still using it on our own troops?

He lost that one to Mr. Limbaugh and has not had another since.

[quote]You lot need to take a lesson in History, Israel has only existed since 1949, it was created by the UN, with the support of countries such as the US and the UK. The people who where living on this land at the time were forceably removed, and have been refugees ever since.[/quote] You do know that the last owners of the land was Great Briton? They gave the land to the nation of Israel so in effect Europeans left the land, the Jews from Europe were moving there after their l
