Waterboarding a terrorist is not acceptable to me because I don't believe in torture. But after 9/11,I can understand why some folks felt they had to go to any length to obtain any information that might prevent another attack. It was about keeping America safe.
What was the torture of a 4-yr. old girl about? Well,a U.S. soldier decided that this would be the appropriate way to punish his daughter for not reciting her ABC's. A torturous investigative method that is used on evil brutes was utilized by a father as a form of discipline.Since this guy thought this was a good form of punishment,I believe that he should be tortured as well.
Here's more from The Huffington Post:
"A U.S. soldier is accused of holding his 4-year-old daughter's head upside-down underwater because she would not recite the alphabet, according to court documents.
Joshua Ryan Tabor, 27, was arrested Sunday, January 31, when police in Yelm, Wash. were responding to a domestic disturbance.
According to court documents, Tabor was "irate, intoxicated and walking around the neighborhood with his Kevlar helmet threatening to break windows." Tacoma News Tribune has more on the abuse:
Tabor spoke to a Yelm police officer and said that he and his girlfriend had "held her down on the counter and submerged her head into the water three or four times until the water came around her forehead and jawline." He said that she was face-up when her head was in the water. He added that they gave this punishment for the 4-year-old "refusing to say her letters."
Tabor told police that his daughter is afraid of water "and was squirming around trying to get away from the water. Joshua did not act as though he felt there was anything wrong with this form of punishment."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here.
