Harris does not appreciate the fact that but for the grace of God and the heroes of Flight 93 there might not be a U.S. Senate for her to pontificate in. And but for enhanced interrogation techniques many more would have fallen victim to terrorist evil, including some of her constituents.
Daniel John Sobieski "The question of whether torture is immoral does not have quite the yes or no answer that California Senator and posturing Democratic presidential wannabe Kamala Harris implied it had during the questioning of CIA nominee Gina Haspel. Classic torture is the intentional infliction of excruciating pain and permanent injury. Merely pouring water down the nostrils of a terrorist does not meet that classic definition.
"And yes, who is doing it matters. Brutalizing an American prisoner of war to get information to be used to kill more Americans is immoral. Making a Khalid Sheik Muhammed think you might actually drown him, which you have absolutely no intention of doing, to save American lives by disclosing future plans and plots is not an immoral purpose.
"Extracting needed information by such methods from the likes of a Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the man who decapitated Daniel Pearl before turning passenger jets into manned cruise missiles, is not an immoral choice What about the choices the murderous and soulless Mohammed, who Kamala Harris turned into a victim, forced his genuine victims to make? As far as we know, Sen. Harris, no terrorists were ever forced to choose death by incineration or jumping out of a 100-story building." . . .
We need to distinguish between what is torture and what is not. Sawing off Nicholas Berg’s head was torture. Saddam’s routine practice of putting dissidents into tree shredders feet first was torture. Forcing prisoners to listen to Christina Aguilera is not.Waterboarding Khalid Sheik Mohammed and his two companions saved lives, as documented by CIA and Senate intelligence investigators in 2014:
The words of Kamala Harris's much- pitied victim:
Time to ask the left: 'Which Side Are You On?' . . . "Democratic senators, led by Senator Kamala Harris, who is running for the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination, viciously attacked Haspel for her role in implementing the George W. Bush administration policy of waterboarding three (3) terrorists, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), Zayn al-Abidin Muhammed Hussein (better known as Abu Zubaida), and Abd al-Rahim al-Nash.
"KSM was the mastermind of the September 11, 2001 attack that killed over three thousand (3,000) Americans. The Kamala Harris bunch is more upset that three (3) terrorists were waterboarded than that three thousand (3,000) Americans were killed because of the conduct of the three (3) terrorists." . . .
While Ms. Haspel worked to defend our country after the 9/11 attack, Senators Wyden, Harris, and Reed, and the other Monday-morning quarterbacks were playing in the swamp. Yet these swamp-dwellers now claim the moral high ground to attack Ms. Haspel for doing her duty to defend our country.
California’s US Senators’ tortuous exchanges with CIA Director Nominee
. . . " The Junior Senator, Kamala Harris, lived down to my abysmal expectations for her. Harris’ overbearing questions about morality were demeaning, nonsensical, and completely devoid of relevance to today’s security needs." . . .
