Is waterboarding a lifestyle choice or innate?


Tuesday, CIA director Michael Hayden objected in testimony to a Senate committee to the proposal to require CIA interrogators to adhere to the Army’s standards: “It would make no more sense to apply the Army’s Field Manual to CIA than it would to take the Army Field Manual on grooming and apply it to my agency, or the Army Field Manual on recruiting and apply it to my agency. Or, for that matter, the Army Field Manual on sexual orientation and apply it to my agency.” Which is more disturbing, his comparison of torture to grooming or to sexual orientation?

Although to give the CIA credit where it is due, they do not discriminate against torture-sexuals.

I just checked. Astonishingly, there are no Google hits for “torture-sexuals.”
