Should waterboarding -- an interrogation technique that simulates drowning -- be legal for use on enemy combatants?

9. It's the Wall Street Journal. No wonder

the pro-torture side is ahead. There is big money to be made in torture and the terror it instills in the group of people who are tortured. Wall Street is all for making money at any cost.

If there are Mme DeFarge's out there- they need to remember these folks- who their writers, editors and executives are.

19. What would you expect from readers of the Wall Street Urinal?

[TahitiNut]

20. Again, my condemnation of us as a nation of cowards and outlaws is less hyperbole ...

... and more and more confirmed. We're fucked, truly and deeply.

[FREEWILL56]

21. It's now 63% yes and I just voted NO.

No doubt they will doctor it to suite what they want it to reflect anyway just like pukes do to votes in elections.

[file83]

22. Looks like the Freepers are winning this round....

Nothing like some good old fashioned War Crime to get the Freepers mobilized!

33. Apparently, this poll is already being skewed by the war criminal crowd.

My oh my, how can such a question even be entertained in a civilized society? Oh, I forgot, we arte no longer a civilized society, thanks to Bush/Cheney overthrowing the Florida 2000 Presidential election.

[LuckyTheDog]

34. Kicking again

As long as this poll is up, we should keep voting.

E-mail the link to friends and family.

38. i sense some freeping going on - 70% yes. come on, let's restore some sanity. n/t

[Eric J in MN]

39. done, but I disagree with the term "enemy combatants"

A prisoner of the military who isn't in the service, is either a POW with all the rights thereof, or a criminal who should be prosecuted in our federal court system in the US.

42. Easy to multi-vote! heres how!

its one of those polls that deleting your cookies will let u vote again!


in IE all you have to do is go to Tools and then Internet Options. Under the General tab and the middle section "Temp internet files". click on delete cookies.

BE FORWARNED tho as this will probably make the browser forget your DU login id and pass as well(so you will need to know them!)

Then you simply REFRESH the page and vote again!


i hate bunk polls like this.

youd think if u were gonna take a poll, you'd use a type that couldnt be manipulated by your average internet user

[iamthebandfanman]

44. another side note, being ignored by WSJ when pointing out problem

i have tried several times to post on that topic about how the poll is bunk and how you can cheat and vote more than once but they wont let me posts be actually posted. they review everything you submit so me pointing out the problem will never get through!

guess someone at the WSJ is in bed with the wingnuts

[aikoaiko]
