type='text'>Would this fly?</title><content type='html'>Here's an imagined speech from Mayor John Smith of Whiteville.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Smith promised that Whiteville will be a 'vanilla' city again. 'This&lt;br /&gt;city will be a majority European-American city. It's the way God wants it&lt;br /&gt;to be. You can't have Whiteville no other way. It wouldn't be Whiteville.' He&lt;br /&gt;also said: 'Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane&lt;br /&gt;after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country.'"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could he get away with this? Such horrible grammer, such raving race-mongering? But Mayor Ray Nagin did. Just substitute Nagin for Smith, New Orleans for Whiteville, African-American for European-American, and oh, yeah; chocolate for vanilla and you'd have &lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/wireStory?id=1512336"&gt;this speech&lt;/a&gt; made yesterday by Nagin.

Real torture. As in cutting people's fingers off, ripping off their fingernails, ripping off their skin etc. But I just can't accept that loud rap music, pouring water over someone's face(OH MY GOSH! With a hood on???) calling them a "queer", and calling their sisters and mothers "sluts", is really torture.&lt;br /&gt;In fact, this hypervintilating, incredibly solemn &lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Investigation/story?id=1322866"&gt;"investigative" article by ABC News&lt;/a&gt;, is just laughable. It's &lt;em&gt;so&lt;/em&gt; laughable, I am posted it just as it appeared.&lt;br /&gt;Here are the techniqes their "secret sources" described. (Bold theirs, italics mine.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. The Attention Grab:&lt;/strong&gt; The interrogator forcefully grabs the shirt front of the prisoner and shakes him.&lt;em&gt;(My little brother Jonathan does this to me every day...)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Attention Slap:&lt;/strong&gt; An open-handed slap aimed at causing pain and triggering fear.&lt;em&gt;(And Rebekah does this...)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. The Belly Slap:&lt;/strong&gt; A hard open-handed slap to the stomach. The aim is to cause pain, but not internal injury. Doctors consulted advised against using a punch, which could cause lasting internal damage.&lt;em&gt;(Yeah, and a suicide bombing might cause lasting internal damage, too, but that's just my opinion.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Long Time Standing:&lt;/strong&gt; This technique is described as among the most effective. Prisoners are forced to stand, handcuffed and with their feet shackled to an eye bolt in the floor for more than 40 hours. Exhaustion and sleep deprivation are effective in yielding confessions. &lt;em&gt;(Haven't they ever been to the Post Office?)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. The Cold Cell:&lt;/strong&gt; The prisoner is left to stand naked in a cell kept near 50 degrees. Throughout the time in the cell the prisoner is doused with cold water.&lt;em&gt;(Gosh, Doctors have been using this for years. Now the &lt;/em&gt;real&lt;em&gt; question is do they use the "little red rubber hammer" torture technique?)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. Water Boarding:&lt;/strong&gt; The prisoner is bound to an inclined board, feet raised and head slightly below the feet. Cellophane is wrapped over the prisoner's face and water is poured over him. Unavoidably, the gag reflex kicks in and a terrifying fear of drowning leads to almost instant pleas to bring the treatment to a halt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Momeeeee! They're having a breath holding contest! It's torture!)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/20385489-113640041235873858?l=the-gun-dude.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-gun-dude.blogspot.com/feeds/113640041235873858/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=20385489&amp;postID=113640041235873858' title='26 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20385489/posts/default/113640041235873858'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20385489/posts/default/113640041235873858'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-gun-dude.blogspot.com/2006/01/torture.html' title='Torture'/><author><name>Edward</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03345251328266089660</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8161/1581/320/reagan1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>26</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20385489.post-113622911698211489</id><published>2006-01-02T11:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-02T11:11:56.983-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Super Bowl Picks</title><content type='html'>Hi, hope everybody likes my new blog.
