The Ugly Liberal

An interesting look at today's politics and a comparison between John McCain and Khalid Sheik Mohammed:

Ugly Liberals: Only Care If Terrorists Are Tortured, Not If Americans Are
The �Ugly Liberal� is coming out in the Democrat Party. A close cousin to the Ugly American - who would go to Europe and other places and display such arrogance and snobbery that it gave all America a bad reputation - this is the election for the Ugly Liberal. It is their hate of Americans, conservatives, life, etc that drives them. They are a constant insult machine, tearing down others to prop up their insecurity. They run their little fantasies about how only they can save humanity from itself.

Today�s target for these insecure, small people is John McCain and his military record and his years in captivity. What is so pathetic about this brand of Ugly Liberal is their duplicity on the subject of torture. They rant and rave about impeaching Bush and others for �torturing� the likes of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind of 9-11:

Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, was subjected to the CIA�s harshest interrogation methods while he was held in secret prisons around the world for more than three years, part of an interrogation regimen that the International Committee of the Red Cross has called �tantamount to torture,� according to a New Yorker article to be published on the magazine�s Web site today.

In reality, what we did to KLM is we induced the fear of drowning. We did not physically torture the man. There were no scars, bruises or cuts. We just used a cloth and ran water over it to trigger the body�s natural response to fight off drowning. We use the same process on our own soldiers to prepare them for real thugs who use real torture - like al-Qaeda, and the North Vietnamese. Let�s be clear here, the Ugly Liberals want to Impeach and Arrest Americans who simply invoked one of our body�s natural response mechanisms. They no more �tortured� anyone than a doctor tapping the knee to check the leg�s reflexes is the same as knee-capping their patients.

An excellent takedown of the claims being made against Senator McCain.
