AI puts out graphic ad against waterboarding
2008-05-01
Here's the ad that Amnesia International is putting out as their part of an effort to undermine the WoT. It shows some guy who volunteered to be waterboarded.

Then they talk to some guy who is just fine and still walking around today claims he was waterboarded by the US who is trying to get the practice banned.

I'm waiting for the next AI ad that shows some guy who volunteered to be barbequed alive or be decapitated in an effort to extinguish that practice, too. In fact, perhaps this idea for their next ad ought to be brought up at the next White House press conference.

AFAIAC, the only way you are going to get someone to talk before that ticking bomb goes off is to scare the crap out of them. It's going to be unpleasant, period. I'd say first go through the legal fight to decide that something has to be done in the case of the ticking bomb, then give people the choice of what method to use. And no, I'm not going to wait until they come up with technolgy to read someone's mind against their will. We need this now, not 100 years from now.

I wonder if Amnesia International will remember that I have a right to live too.
