Waterboarding’s Glorious Past 0

I’ve done a lot of research on the water cure.

Despite the fulminations of the Wingnuttysphere to somehow claim that it is not torture, it is, quite clearly, torture.

The issue to be discussed is not whether or not waterboarding is torture.

The issue to be discussed is whether Americans should torture or whether torturing persons violates the ideals upon which the United States of America was founded.

Those who argue that waterboarding is not torture are just trying to weasel out of facing the moral decision.

And those who would say that waterboarding is the “American way,” have good company.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
