"With waterboarding out and chatting in, the bad guys have one less thing to worry about."

From Bill O'Reilly's blog:

John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama all say waterboarding is torture and should be outlawed. So let's assume it will be after President Bush leaves office. Let's also assume that most captured terrorists will not give up their comrades under standard Geneva Convention interrogation methods.

Who wins under that scenario? Well, it looks like the terrorists do, right? With waterboarding out and chatting in, the bad guys have one less thing to worry about. Do you feel safer knowing name, rank, and jihad number is all that's required of a captured al-Qaeda?

The American people need to wise up. Yeah, the Presidential horse race is fun and interesting. But on vital questions of the day, the candidates spit out flimsy, general rhetoric and walk away.

To protect my family, I want the waterboarding option included amongst presidential powers. As for Musharraf, I want this guy held accountable.

Sorry if that interrupts the hope train.
