Roachboy,
All I am saying is the law needs to be specific. I don't want to be water boarded, I don't even think I would have the ability to do it to a living being - human or animal. However, being at war is an ugly business, a life and death business. Those executing a war deserve clear and specific guildlines. If what we are saying is that we disagree on whether or not water boarding a person willing to attach a bomb to his body and explode the bomb killing himself, innocent children, women, elderly, disabled, relief workers, etc., is putting that person in "severe" pain and suffering that is one thing. I can accept that as a legitimate criticism of the administration. However, to suggest that Bush deserves to be impeached because he attempted to add clarity to the issue of torture for the CIA is something else - and I find that hard to accept.
