#1 Very interesting.

I am surprised the article didn't mention waterboarding. My son in law is a crewman on a E-3 and he gets waterboarded about once a year for refresher training.

I was waterboarded in my Army escape and evasion course and was waterboarded for a "refresher" one other time when I was on assignment with Westport.

Do you suppose the article deliberately took out any references to waterboarding to play to the DiFi narrative about CIA torture?

#3 Some of the tortures, particularly the ones regarding defacing Christian Bibles and American flags, sound eerily similar to the types of things children are subjected to on a verbal level in public schools and in universities these days.

#4 My son in law is a crewman on a E-3 and he gets waterboarded about once a year for refresher training.

What sort of questions do you put to him during these sessions Bill ?

When are you getting married, we're not getting any younger you know.
