16. HER HYPOTHETICAL
Edited on Tue May-12-09 01:17 PM by 90-percent
Her hypothetical has about as much reality as that classic Dan Ackroid bit on SNL 25 tears ago:

"What if Napoleon had B-29 bombers during the battle of Waterloo?"

Theres at least three verifiable flaws she mentions:

torture works - uh, no it doesn't

water boarding is not torture - uh, yes it is

water boarding is not illegal - uh, yes it is

Once again, a national debate is being mucked up by BULLSHIT.

Larry King should have her and Jesse Ventura on together for a nice chatty little debate about the torture issue.

If you have an argument with the phrase "if this, then this" repeated a few times, doesn't that make the probably of that logic string about 1 in 85 billion or something?
