You seem conveniently to have forgotten we tortured people TO DEATH. You seem to have forgotten that out intake at abu ghraib relied on begrudged locals tying up their brothers in law and delivering them from a trunk, for a bounty - that was what amounted to vetting. And once inside the homosexual torture dungeon, protestations of innocence merely invited more pain and degradation.

You seem to have forgotten that the senate report revealed we had DOZENS of torture chambers operating in secret, all around the globe.

Walking past all of that while smirking about three high profile water boardings is an admission of inferior intellect and dishonest intent.

Keep defending the idea of a government big enough to torture your children, and calling yourself a conservative, son.

I haven't forgotten. You talk about being deliberately dishonest and invalidating my argument. I have not been dishonest. The original comment from a few years ago was that I wouldn't lose any sleep over 3 waterboarded terrorists, and that my comments only apply to those 3. I made it abundantly clear I was not supporting any other events or things you call torture. I made it clear it did not apply to what you call torture chambers. I made it clear it did not apply to rendition nor did it apply to Abu Grahib. Whe3n it comes to dishonesty you conveniently leave those out.

The only dishonesty in anyone's argument is on your continued application of the line that I won't lose any sleep over three waterboarded terrorists to all things torture. You have extrapolated the comment to everything.

So if you wish to discuss dishonesty and invalidating arguments, look to yourself.

So no sir, I have neither been dishonest nor have I forgotten anything about the issue.
