Rachel Maddow: New CIA Torture Documents Released

Farhad2000 says...

Am sorry but I think you watched a bit too much of 24 and Jack Bauer, the ticking bomb scenario has never existed in all of human history. Not a single intelligence agency has come forward claiming the use of torture has produced actionable intelligence. The cell structure of modern terrorist groups like Al Q mean that each operative would know only of operations within his own cell and not others.

There are just so many basic logical and investigate flaws when it comes to this issue it defies explanation. Torture in its historical context was never used to derive information, because coercion and appeasement has always worked better then torture.

Torture was always used to break people psychologically and mentally.

Splinter Cell: Convitcion gameplay demo E3 2009

demon_ix says...

That was INSANE!

I never was a big fan of the Splinter Cell series, mainly because of the relatively slow paced action, but this game looks so much quicker, and packed full of awesomeness.

Jack Bauer meets the Prince of Persia. Can't wait.

Rachel Maddow - Obama Advocates Indefinite Detention?

spawnflagger says...

How to shut down GITMO in 3 easy steps

1) send prisoners back to countries in which they were captured (i.e. not cuba), even if they were captured in the US.
2) have those countries prosecute based on laws in those countries. If guilty, likely death penalty, if not - it's those countries who let the people go.
3) spend time and money keeping track of anyone released, to see if they lead to other terrorist cells.

The point of saying "I will close Guantanamo Bay", Mr. President, was that it showed that you think the Constitution is important. More important than the potential crimes of future terrorists against Americans. You are not Jack Bauer, Mr. President, because he is a fictional character.

Richard Clark was exactly right about the war on terror - it's not just a war on the ground, it's a war of ideas. And we cannot win the war on terror without winning over the hearts and minds of muslim world. Every action we take, as a nation, that sends the message of "we can do whatever we want" or "we are better than you" gets immediately turned into terrorist propaganda that recruits more people and expands their funding base. We are NOT safer after invading Iraq. We are NOT safer for holding people indefinitely without trial.

And Obama doesn't want to prosecute previous administration because it's dangerous politically. Would also be expensive due to the appeals process, and would just be divisive among left and right wing people/states. Jesse Ventura would prosecute, because he doesn't care about getting reelected.

QI - Alan Rickman, Kevin Costner and Brit Villains on Film

EDD says...

Here we go again, the never-ending whiners' argument. UK actors always cast as villains by Hollywood? Puhh-leaz.

Forgot your own cinema legend Laurence Olivier, did you? Oh, we're in the 21st century now? What about Jack Bauer? Huh? Forgot Hugh Laurie, America's No.1 male sex-symbol, too? Christian fucking Bale? Gerard Butler? James McAvoy? Starting to remember some, are you now? Jude Law. Idris Elba. Sir Ian McKellen. Patrick Stewart. Ralph Fiennes. Michael Caine. Clive Owen. Ewan McGregor. I bet I could name thrice as much if I started googling.

If you want to whine about Brits occasionally being cast as baddies, first acknowledge that Arabs, Russians, and Chinese have long had it way worse. Wankers.

100 days of "Fair & Balanced"

volumptuous says...

>> ^GuyIncognito:

That's the thing that bothers here. Right after you rag on Fox News, you fucking upvote Jack Bauer. Or you sit your fat ass down and watch American Idol. Don't you see how ridiculous that is? You despise Fox News, but gladly fork your money (your eyes) over to the man who is responsible for this disgusting farce.


I haven't had cable television in over a decade. And like many others who are repulsed by the fear-mongering and media-manipulation practices of Fox News, I'm equally repulsed by 24, American Idol and the rest of that mindless, soul-crushing garbage that you think all of us just love to death.

So please chill on all this "ALL OF YOU" nonsense.

But I think your above comments are just a smoke-screen for your wanting to take a dig at Americans in general. But what you fail to understand is that while people like O'Reilly may get 1million viewers per night, that leaves around 299million people in this country who don't watch him.


None of this is nearly as popular as you or they themselves believe.

100 days of "Fair & Balanced"

GuyIncognito says...

Yes, we all know how "Fair & Balanced" Fox News is. Question though.

How many of you watch the Fox Broadasting Corporation? You know, crap like House and 24... How many of you saw The Simpsons Movie in theatres?

See folks, your eyes are worth advertising dollars. The same man who profits from Fox News, also profits from the fucking shit you people eat up. Right?

That's the thing that bothers here. Right after you rag on Fox News, you fucking upvote Jack Bauer. Or you sit your fat ass down and watch American Idol. Don't you see how ridiculous that is? You despise Fox News, but gladly fork your money (your eyes) over to the man who is responsible for this disgusting farce.

If you hate what Fox News has done to your democracy, hate the deception and lies, take a fucking stand against the people who run the network. Take a stand against Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. Write letters to the companies advertising with them. Tell them you won't purchase their products because you don't want your money to fund that propaganda machine. Don't fucking watch that new Twentieth Century Fox Film. Until you make that small sacrifice, YOU ARE ALL FUCKING PATHETIC HYPOCRITES.

Playboy Bets He Can Take 15s of Waterboarding

asynchronice says...

Gentleman, easiest fallacy in the book this one. It's the slippery slope; if it is OK to waterboard someone if you KNOW he has information, then why stop there ? If it is going to save thousands of lives, why not chop off some fingers?
Elecrocution ? This is physical punishment, in that you're inducing an involuntary reflex. Drawing blood is a RETARDED definition at the line of torture.

Some people are wasting a lot of brain cells and research to prove weirdly obscure points about torture.

Someone needs to link the sift of the CIA interregator who went on record saying in 20 years he's never seen torture get reliable intel, while subtle manipulation through conversation has been by far the most effective.

I always think of this quote whenever people think the 'Jack Bauer' technique is a real thing:

"Power and violence are opposites; where the one rules absolutely, the other is absent. Violence appears where power is in jeopardy, but left to its own course it ends in power’s disappearance." - Hannah Arendt

Barack Obama On Leon Panetta & CIA Nomination

charliem says...

>> ^quantumushroom:
If a terrorist attack occurs that could've been prevented by waterboarding intel from a captive, all blame goes to the American people who elected Obama who selected a bureaucrat for a job requiring different and specific experience.


Wiki on torture:
One well documented effect of torture is that, with rare exceptions, people will say or do anything to escape the situation, including untrue "confessions" and implication of others without genuine knowledge, who may well then be tortured in turn. That information may have been extracted from the Birmingham Six through the use of police beatings was counterproductive because it made the convictions unsound as the confessions were worthless.

This is why its not been used prior to bush and co. seeing how sucessful it is on 24. Cause its utterly fucking worthless, provides unsound intel, and can lead to false arrests and misallocation of resources chasing an endless rabbit hole of trails.
