uh, well, you see, he's dead. was killed in pakistan, i think, by some nutball muslim extremist types. did he come out in favor of waterboarding while he as alive? if not, he might not serve your argument too well. we could ask other dead people too, if you like. check with some psychics.

anyway, back on planet earth, we civilized people don't really enjoy mindless cruelty to others. especially if we (at least me) have been victims of it ourselves. something about hoping others don't ever have to suffer through the same crap that we did.
