She wasn't the only caller who ranted on with such obscenities. 

Have these "Folks", if we can call them that, for they surely are not human beings, no imaginations?  Cannot they put themselves in the place of the would-be tortured? 

It is so difficult to grasp how some "Folks" don't seem to be able to think things through for themselves.  How can they take the word of an O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Hannity, Bush, Cheney or any of them that say torture is alright?  How can they think it's okay to defy the Geneva Conventions, not to mention our own laws against torture?  Can they not see that the evil of our torturing the enemy is a worse evil than when the enemy tortures our soldiers?

We're Americans.  We're not supposed to sink to the bottom of the slime pit and torture our enemies.  

The "Folks" seem to think that torture, such as water boarding is some kind of parlor game.  That it doesn't hurt; that it doesn't cause panic; that it can't kill.

Have these people never accidently gotten water up their noses or into their lungs when learning to swim; touched a hot stove; or cut themselves; or slipped on an icy sidewalk or on a wet floor; or been bitten by a dog; or fallen down stairs; or gotten a pet cat scratch; or gone to the dentist?

Why do they think Doc Cavity has a drawer full of Novocain?  To numb the pain...in case they were wondering.

If torture weren't painful...it would have another name!  Like pleasure.

The only way to bring these "pain deniers" out of the darkness is to give them a taste of what they think is fine medicine for anyone our government deems a terrorist, subversive, enemy combatant or name de jour to be the subject of the torturer's water board, thumb screws, sweat cabinets, ice boxes, loud music chamber, sleep deprivation stools or any other means of torture.

I want to see the "Folks" get a good dose of the reality of torture and that includes O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh and all the others who lack humanity because they promote torture.

I want to see all these "torture okayers" tortured.

I want to see them tortured on free TV, not on cable.

I want to see them piss and/or crap themselves from the fear of what's coming.

I want to see them writhe and scream in pain.

The writhing, screaming, pissing and crapping won't last but 30 seconds, if that long.

Because...
