Yes, this is one of those "Oh my Gods I can't believe this freeper said this " posts.

But honestly, I can't believe this freeper said this...

"There is an excellent piece on Fox tonight about the Threat of Radical Islam...Essentially how hordes of youth, unto the millions, are being brainwashed into thinking Jews are born of pigs etc. etc...And that Jihad or holy war against the West is the only way to convert the world to God's will....
 
The extent of the brainwashing is reaching into the minds of their 3 year olds...And it may be beyond the ability of anyone to deprogram whole generations...
 
This is why I see no problem with intensive psychological interrogation techniques against captured terrorists: the only way to reach a murderous, suicidal bomber or terrorist is to dig deep in his mind and forcefully bring him back to reality...It isn't enough to drag information out of him--you have to recondition him to be able to re-enter the world....Or he'll go right back to killing again....
"

Yes boys and girls. I bet you didn't even know that people were being beaten and water boarded and otherwise intensively psychologically interrogated (what the rest of us call TORTURED) so that they could be brought back to reality and allowed to re-enter society.

See, Torture is therapeutic! It's good for you! Who knew?!

And I guess if we take this guys Logic to it's Logical conclusion...

"The extent of the brainwashing is reaching into the minds of their 3 year olds...And it may be beyond the ability of anyone to deprogram whole generations"

Obviously we should start torturing..I mean interrogating all muslims as young as three.

Please let me know if you hear anyone else use this line. You know how the Con Borg-like hive mind works. I am curious if this will become a common arguement. If this guy is parroting Fox news, this could become a con meme spreading like a virus.

3. Good thing
we blew up all those Mega Mosques. After the initial collateral damage think of all the children we saved from being tortured, by us. (or not saved as the case may be)

5. I am wondering if this is a new "evolution" for cons on Torture
Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 09:42 PM by booley
Like how at first they were totally against Torture..and that is why we had to invade iraq. to Stop Saddam from Torturing.

Then denial. It was all a lie by Al Queda and Liberals!

Then more denial. That's not Torture! It's just a frat hazing!

Then denial mixed with acceptence. We dont' torture but these guys deserve to be tortured.

Then Denial with acceptence with justification... We are safer becuase we torture which we don't do and what we do isn't torture, which we have to be allowed to continue to do..even though we don't torture....

So is this the next step? We have to torture people, even innocent people becuase they might one day want to kill us?

How can people even think like this and NOT be in an institution talking to Joan of Arc?
