Ray at Sacking Rome offers some challenging articles from time to time. I find him one sided and I'm often amazed at how he and those that comment on his blog get to the conclusions they do - but I presume he is a Christian and since most Christians equate their faith to being Republican, I read Ray's blog to try to understand other view points.
Here's an interesting article on a "torture" technique called waterboading. While I think I want to say I don't support torture, my brain doesn't process this as torture and I come out fully supportive.
Does anyone care to help me feel ok with this thinking or perhaps offer something constructive (not hateful) to help me think otherwise?

Rick,
I have a feeling that if you underwent waterboarding, you would reconsider your opinion.
Everybody's a tough guy when it's somebody else on the rack.
Oh believe me, I'm no tough guy. I so weak I think waking up before 7 am is torture.
This is about an evaluation of right and wrong and I think this kind of treatment seems must humane relative to what is at risk.
Following your logic we wouldn't even have prison. So I'm still left looking for solutions.
