U.S. prosecutions for waterboarding
Posted on 2012/05/28 by Gary
In an earlier post I noted that the United States has prosecuted waterboarding -- the practice of strapping prisoners to boards and pouring water into their faces, historically also called "water torture" and more euphemistically "water treatment" or "water cure" -- as a war crime. I've been asked to provide a little more information on that, so here's a brief summary and some links. You can easily find many more with your favorite search engine.

Prosecutions date back at least to one against an American officer in the Philippines in 1902, though that apparently involved an even more brutal form of the practice. A contemporary New York Times article can be read here.

At a St. Petersburg FL campaign event on November 29, 2007, Senator and former POW John McCain noted that " ... following World War II war crime trials were convened. The Japanese were tried and convicted and hung for war crimes committed against American POWs. Among those charges for which they were convicted was waterboarding." The Tampa Bay Times looked into this in some detail and verified Senator McCain's statement.

Sarah Palin is a numpty, you all know this, the far right are nut job neanderthals and the NRA need to be put in their place, the problem is they own the senate and the house and I fear little if anything will be done about the appalling lack of gun control in this country!
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

I think we can all agree with this.
