re: How come Republicans trust government to do only one thing?

You ran from the other thread where I destroyed your torture premise.

The lawyers who gave the go ahead to the EIT Program, stated that torture as defined ( I am paraphrasing ) by the statutes says that IF YOU SET OUT TO HURT OR MAIM someone it is deemed torture.

Hence, the Justice Department Lawyers, the CIA, the President and others got together to craft a new program that would pass legal muster ( hence no indictments by Obama/Holder Justice Department ) and they borrowed a program that the Navy Seals and other Special Ops used in order to prepare their men for capture.

You have waterboarding sessions of 10-20 and 40 second pouring's ( unlike the Waterboarding by Japs that went 3-4 minutes ) and you raise the legs up over the head, basically guaranteeing that no water can enter the lungs at all, basically a ZERO CHANCE.

So, since the intent was NOT TO HURT or MAIM, the tactics, by law, could not be considered torture in any way shape or form.

The TORTURE LAWS stated there had to be an INTENT to hurt or maim.

Since the new waterboarding techniques were crafted after our Special Ops programs, and the legs were raised whereas not allowing the water to enter the lungs ( even though the subjects didn't know this fact ) and in all intense purposes these tactics were now ONLY SCARE TACTICS, not devised to HURT or MAIM, but instead devised to SCARE.

HENCE NO TORTURE

HENCE NO CHARGES

HENCE YOU LIBERALS CAN SUCK IT.
