McCain was not tortured

"In all the discussion of John McCain's recently recovered memory of a religious epiphany in Vietnam, one thing has been missing. The torture that was deployed against McCain emerges in all the various accounts. It involved sleep deprivation, the withholding of medical treatment, stress positions, long-time standing, and beating. Sound familiar?

According to the Bush administration's definition of torture, McCain was therefore not tortured."

    Hey bloc,
     
    I thought of you not too long ago when I read about an "attraction" at Coney Island.  Did you happen to see the "Robot Waterboarding" article? 
     
    Here's a link to a Fox Report on it.  Not the original article I read.  At the time, I thought "bloc must have seen this" but never asked and didn't notice if you posted about it.
     
    I hope mini bloc is doing well and I'm sure she's still as cute as ever!

    I was surprised that I didn't notice any posts about it!  I'm shocked that I actually saw something that was a hot topic (Waterboarding) and thought of you!  Only in Soul Cast...LOL!  Any thoughts on it?
     
    Awe...starting to walk!  The Mommy and Daddy diet is ON!  That's when I really lost a lot of weight, when Little D. started walking.  There's nothing like chasing around a little one that gets into the forbidden areas of the home.  For us, the stairs was her favorite thing to tease us about.  Funny for her, not for us!  Enjoy this time!

    i like the idea of putting the ugly things in front of people that may not be aware of it.

    regarding baby bloc, I don't think i'll be losing any weight. I'm already as skinny as I should get :/

    this is sadly not very surprising. i'd love to be a fly on the wall as mccain discusses this apparently disharmony among trusted aides. :>

A new dinosaur named Tatankacephalus cooneyorum, was recently unearthed in Montana. For me it's not a particularly exciting find. It's a rather standard addition to the anklosaur family, a group of armored dinoraurs with club like tails. It is surmise... read entire post 1 comments
