Peter King: We Didn’t Torture, We Just Had People ‘Stand In Awkward Positions’
“We’re not talking about anyone being burned or stabbed or cut or anything like that. We’re talking about people being made to stand in awkward in positions, have water put into their nose and into their mouth. Nobody suffered any lasting injuries from this…
“I don’t believe these are torture at all. For instance, waterboarding, there were medical personnel present during the whole time. It creates tremendous discomfort — there’s no doubt about it. It creates tremendous fear, but the fact is there was no lasting damage to these people and we got information from them, which is very helpful,” King Told W-CBS in New York.
“We’re not talking about anyone being burned or stabbed or cut or anything like that. We’re talking about people being made to stand in awkward in positions, have water put into their nose and into their mouth. Nobody suffered any lasting injuries from this.”

Anyone want to guess how long it would take these fascist pigs to allow the police to use their, “enhanced interrogation” techniques against all of us?

As Rachael Maddow just pointed out ‘No one suffered any lasting injuries ….unless you count death.’
And thanks to Karoli @Karoli ·
Every one of you defending the CIA needs to have your dinner shoved up your ass after it’s been pureed before you say one more thing.

He can’t possibly be that stupid, or think that we are.

Maybe not stupid, rather just being the typical cold-hearted GOP prick that he is.

sometimes I start to wonder until I remember they’re the ‘master race’ – so to them it doesn’t really matter if anyone else believes them or not – they are still the ‘master race’ – and just as F’d up at the last ones were.

You make an excellent point, and the realization makes me sad.

The obvious thing to do, then, is for King to be put in one of these “awkward” positions, on camera, and see how he takes it.
One common position is for the person to stand with their back to a wall. Then they take one step forward and bend at the knees until they are at a 90 degree angle with their back against the wall. It looks as if they are sitting.
Hannity likewise belittled waterboarding, but has not yet kept his word to be waterboarded.
These dunces do not realize the contradiction in their statements. After all, if it is just an “awkward” position that is not very troubling, then why do they think the prisoner talked? Why do they think something so bland and inconsequential would cause a hardened jihadist to talk, when they had refused previously?
It doesn’t make sense.

i’m sure this terrorist supporter also thinks that his beloved (and Gaddafi-funded) IRA didn’t really torture people when they knee-capped them. Jeez, talk about selective memory.

These wing-nuts are utter sociopaths. Why?, because these dim-bulbs think that the memory of the physical abuse passes by, once these horrors are done being used on the victims. FFS!

i suppose PTSD would be a myth in their books.
