TFP Assignments:
Waterboarding
Tonight, when you're done working, ask a trustworthy friend to come over. Give him a question to ask you that you're not comfortable answering (did you ever have sex with a man?). Put on a bathing suit, and lay in your bathtub with your head near the drain and your feet up. Put a blindfold on. Wrap your face in cellophane with just enough openings to breathe. Have your friend bind your feet and tie your hands to the spigots, to where you're incapable of escaping. Have your friend, without warning, slowly dump a few gallons of water over your face, trying to take as long as a minute or so. Have him refill the water container at a sink, and repeat. Have him repeat until you say yes, regardless of whether you've had sex with a man or not.
After you've regained your breath, think about all of the innocent people that have been released from Gitmo who were waterboarded. Welcome to being a liberal.

So if they're horrible that gives us permission to be horrible.

The Geneva Conventions are the core of international humanitarian law. To break them is to become all of those who have broken such laws before us.
