Ron Reagan — son of the former president — has called former Vice President Dick Cheney a war criminal… again.
Reagan told Clarence Thomas of the Chicago Tribune that Cheney was a war criminal because of his support for waterboarding, while the two were discussing Cheney’s recent interview with NBC.
“Not to hammer the point at all, but any neutral reading of say, the U.N. Convention Against Torture makes it pretty clear that if you support waterboarding and you enact that sort of a policy, you’re guilty of a war crime,” Reagan said.
Here’s a clip of the conversation between Reagan and Thomas:
This isn’t the first time Reagan has accused Cheney of being a war criminal.
Below at 1:34, Reagan makes the accusation on Joy Behar’s show. His statements sparked a controversy in the media world, and earned him a response from Bill O’Reilly just a few days later:

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 10:12amWhat is it called when one country, the U.S., attacks another country, Iraq, when it was not threatened? When the Germans attacked Poland, we had an answer to that question.
Report Post »Al Qaeda was in Afghanistan, not Iraq. Iraq made no threat towards the U.S.. Iraq didn’t have the means even if it did threaten the U.S.. Is it called something different when we do the attacking? Did the Japanese do anything different on December 7, 1941?
The label is correct. If the shoe fits, wear it. A double standard is not acceptable.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 10:50amBlowback, you are wrong in making the analogy. Poland did not represent a danger to Germany, Germany invaded Poland for expansion. Iraq on the other hand, presented a possible danger in the near future, therefore we preemptively launched an attack on Iraq. We didnt use a mocked up “attack on a radio tower” in order to invade Iraq, we provided evidence.
On the note of Ron Reagan, I think he should read the Geneva Convention a bit closer, in it, it says that those who wear a recognizable uniform, who are a signatory of the convention, and who do not use civilians as shields, can be given the protections of the Geneva Convention.
I see a no, no, and definitely nope for all three counts. Therefore, enemies without a flag, without a uniform, and without following the Convention are therefore not privy to the protections that are in the Convention. Put that in your dope pipe and smoke it Ronnie.

Ok Blazers, attack someone personally for the remarks he’s making without thinking critically about the subject at hand…Go! Cheney actively lied about and sold to the MSM the threat of Iraq thereby brainwashing the sheeple and setting into motions plans he and the neocons have had since the 80s (note, regardless of the debatable threat Iraq posed in early 2002, he and his cronies have had their eye on that oilbasket for decades).

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 12:52pmTorture is defined as the infliction of extreme pain.
Waterboarding was carefully and specifically designed to play upon one’s fears of drowning, without inflicting pain . . . while an inducement, it does not constitute torture.
So get off your high horse, and accept that this is a deliberately humane way to extract information from those who would kill every living American, if they could.

In comparison, waterboarding is a Sunday walk in the park.

Use it in a sentence.
“Waiting is just torture for me.“ ”Listening to him can be torture.”
The key qualifier is the phrase “to me” and “for him”. It illustrates how torture is defined by the individual being tortured, not by the torturer – i.e. Bush and Cheney.
Synonyms for torture are “Hell, Gehenna, torment, misery, nightmare, etc.”
Torture defined for KIDS is:
1 : distress of body or mind
2 : the causing of great pain especially to punish or to obtain a confession
Etymology: from French torture “causing of intense pain or agony,“ from Latin tortura ”act of twisting,” from earlier tortus, past participle of torqure “to twist” –related to DISTORT, EXTORT, RETORT
I can use it quite exceptionally in a sentence:
It is quite torturous TO ME to hear neocons TWIST and DISTORT with their ridiculous RETORTS in an attempt to EXTORT a CONFESSION that waterboarding is not TORTURE.

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 1:38pmThe US Hung Japanese Officiers for waterboarding during WWII because it was considered torture. Until Cheney, the US government defined it as torture like the rest of the world.
Chase J. Nielsen, one of the U.S. airmen who flew in the Doolittle raid following the attack on Pearl Harbor, was subjected to waterboarding by his Japanese captors. At their trial for war crimes following the war, he testified “Well, I was put on my back on the floor with my arms and legs stretched out, one guard holding each limb. The towel was wrapped around my face and put across my face and water poured on. They poured water on this towel until I was almost unconscious from strangulation, then they would let up until I’d get my breath, then they’d start over again… I felt more or less like I was drowning, just gasping between life and death.” The United States hanged Japanese soldiers for waterboarding American prisoners of war.[9]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterboarding#World_War_II

If you read the case against the Japanesse Officers, there is no difference between what they did and what we did.
“After World War II, we convicted several Japanese soldiers for waterboarding American and Allied prisoners of war. At the trial of his captors, then-Lt. Chase J. Nielsen, one of the 1942 Army Air Forces officers who flew in the Doolittle Raid and was captured by the Japanese, testified: “I was given several types of torture. . . . I was given what they call the water cure.’He was asked what he felt when the Japanese soldiers poured the water.’Well, I felt more or less like I was drowning,’ he replied, ‘just gasping between life and death.’ ”
“In this case from the tribunal’s records, the victim was a prisoner in the Japanese-occupied Dutch East Indies:
A towel was fixed under the chin and down over the face. Then many buckets of water were poured into the towel so that the water gradually reached the mouth and rising further eventually also the nostrils, which resulted in his becoming unconscious and collapsing like a person drowned. This procedure was sometimes repeated 5-6 times in succession.”
