Liz Cheney's Lies About Troops And Waterboarding: SERE

Edited on Tue May-12-09 07:29 AM by KingOfLostSouls

the SERE Program is used to teach american troops to RESIST torture and interrogation. It's not something done as fun to help troops feel better. It's drawn from previous Prisoner Of War experiences for those who were captured by fascist and communist regimes. Regimes and groups who did not follow the geneva conventions and actively engaged in torture and war crimes.

liz cheney is a fucking liar. and everytime a conservative speaks this lie about troops being waterboarded, it should ALWAYS be countered that they're waterboarded to teach them about those who commit war crimes and how to resist them, not because torture and war crimes works.

2. They Tortured people

They have the most advanced military in the world at their disposal. They had the most advanced intelligence gathering apparatus in the world. Yet when given the opportunity they resorted to primitive forms of torture known to not to work. That's the only story. How can anyone in the media simply let them try to justify the unjustifiable?

4. They need to have Jesse Ventura as a guest with Liz - let him

respond to her lies about SERE and waterboarding.

He was a Navy seal that went through SERE and was waterboarded - he said without a doubt, it is torture.
