Midknight Review -- new and revised: Waterboarding versus killing as many terrorists as possible - which is really the more humane practice ?

As you may know, Obama has increased the "drone war" effort and with some success. That is a good thing, of course. Anytime the bad guys are killed, a victory of sorts is registered.

Our questions is this: why is flat out killing the terrorists a more humane consideration than waterboarding them in the presence of a staff of doctors -- an interrogation technique that leaves the "suspect" both alive and physically unharmed? (who is the idiot, here?)

Bush was evil for harsh interrogation practices while Obama is a good guy for deciding to kill as many terrorists as he can and killing them with "anonymously guided drones" that depersonalize the combatant and kills civilian population (contrary to popular belief).

But with all this talk of anti-harsh interrogation and killing poeple as an option, we remind our readers that when high value terrorists are captured, they are sent out under the Bush policy of rendition to countries such as Pakistan. The recent capture of a Taliban leader in Pakistan is being pursued with Pakistanis interrogation techniques. The US military field manual is nowhere in sight. While Obama pretends to be on the high road, he allows for critical captures to be interrogated as before - so his interrogation policy is not all bad -- it is some Bush !!

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
