I keep thinking this water-boarding issue will be settled out of public view, but it keeps growing legs for some reason. I think this public display of obsessing on matters of this kind can set national security back further than the Church commission did. What other country is going to trust us when dirty linen like this is kept in public view. Fifty years ago this would have been unthinkable.
I’m so sick and tired of hearing about water-boarding. I know the US has freedom of speech and freedom of the press listed in the constitution. But, I can’t think of a single country in the history of mankind that aired all of its dirty laundry in pubic. As far as I’m concerned this is to the extreme, and living in any extreme is shallow and counterproductive, period.
That is what’s happening with this water-boarding issue. Personally, I would never say never, but it shouldn’t matter what I and ninety nine percent of all Americans think. In my view only an idiot would refuse to use the technique if it would save the lives of 300 million Americans citizens.
This is just another example of shallow minded liberal thinking. As for the mostly liberal media, common sense has long flown the coop with them. Common sense will tell a wise man that sometimes it’s best to “Let sleeping dogs lie and only fools rush in where wise men refuse to go.” Sure, we have free speech and a free press but we also have a republic form of government, too.
That means we elect people and trust them to make responsible decisions for us and for the country. For God sake, let the leadership decide this hot button issue at the highest level and get it the hell out of the public limelight. Opinions are like a…. holes, we all have one. You can’t have five hundred and thirty five people running anything.
It’s like “Having too many cooks in the kitchen or too many chiefs and not enough Indians.” It is said that "You can never be a good leader if you don't know how to follow." There is no absolute one way to do things in life, life is all about common sense, perspective, and being able to adapt, otherwise you perish.
That axiom is still true today, except this temporary welfare state has too many people in fantasy land.
This whole thing is a power play plot by the shallow minded liberal news media. The mostly liberal media and their created welfare state along with liberal judges have just about destroyed our culture, our nuclear family system, and our manufacturing base. Now, from ignorance they are going in for the kill to try to destroy this nation’s ability to keep any national security secret. Lord save us.
A word of knowledge to shallow minded liberals: Most people around the world don't trust any government anyway on something like this. It doesn't matter if the U.S. government swears on a stack of bibles that it will never use water boarding ever again, No one hip is going to believe it anyway.
So, all of this public airing of our dirty linen is doing is proving just how shallow and naive we have become. Send in the clowns! However, the liberals just may be out to get "Somebody" anyway and the country or nothing else matters.
