I was told that salesmen are the easiest people to fall for a scam because they're quite ready to beleive things without critical thinking. It seems to be good at sales it's best to believe in your product, no matter how cr@p it is. And so it would appear to be with our snarling friend..Darohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965288170032365125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-58890325872203865602014-12-17T21:33:22.462-05:002014-12-17T21:33:22.462-05:00Well, Cheney is just lying, which is to be expecte...Well, Cheney is just lying, which is to be expected. There have been lots of reports from Syria that ISIS applied the same forms of torture as the U.S. to their prisoners, especially U.S. and U.K. prisoners. The forms of torture we used have been well known for years. Waterboarding, of course, but also the "stress positions," which used to be known as strappado and bastinado since the days os the Spanish Inquisition. They have tortured a lot more than they hve beheaded. As repugnant as Cheney is, I have to admire his skill as a sophist. Same as a used car salesman.Procopiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554355440319405363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-40843335419860250492014-12-15T21:02:57.433-05:002014-12-15T21:02:57.433-05:00It's such bullshit, by the way, in that the IS...It's such bullshit, by the way, in that the ISIS villains use torture all the time, for the good old fashioned purpose of extracting confessions. Then they behead them to frighten us, because they're terrorists as well.
