Hypocrisy On Waterboarding and "Torture"

   [1]Not a word of this surprises me.

   I knew people who were absolutely on board with interrogation
   techniques far more genuinely torture-oriented a few years ago who now
   routinely accuse the Bush administration of "unprecedented"
   (hahahahaha!) "torture" because of minorly discomforting things like
   waterboarding (yes I said minor, and yes, I openly volunteer to be
   waterboarded by any professionals willing to do it to me--and that
   remains an open offer) and act like they invented whole new things
   that previous administrations in fact did.

   So, learning that current congressional leadership is a bunch of lying
   hypocrites who wanted more torture than they now accuse the Bush
   administration of? I have zero problem believing that. At all. Hell,
   even Al Gore was for extraordinary rendition before he was against it.
