Talk Left breaks down The Denver Post's report on the deaths of 5 prisoners while they were undergoing "interrogation" in U.S. custody.
Well, Debbie Daniel, a commentator on the GOPUSA website, sees these actions a little bit differently. That is, through the lens of COMPLETE INSANITY.
Who in the world are we fooling? I agree we are better than that, but I'm here to tell you, if we don't get the same mind set these killers have, it's over.
You have to meet the enemy where he is. You have to get inside his mind; to think like he does or you can't win.
It wasn't like us to drop the atom bomb on Hiroshima, but we had to.
It's not like us to use certain tactics to get information, but we have to.
These are not refined people with manners, who will sign papers and say they will treat our prisoners humanely.
Our President couldn't have said it any plainer; we're dealing with the "Axis of Evil" . . . in other words - Satan himself.
(emphasis hers)
Her reference to Satan would indicate that she's a Christian. Need I say more? Does she have any tiny little scrap of an idea what it's supposed to mean to be Christian?
Remember when Moses dropped the other five commandments in History of the World, Part I? Maybe she managed to piece them back together.
XII: Sometimes you just have to drop a hydrogen bomb on people.
XIII: That whole thing about turning the other cheek? That was a total joke. Come on! You can't win that way! Kill the bastards!
XIV: Right. Forget the part about not killing too.
XV: Ah, to hell with it. Do whatever you want.
She goes on, if you can possibly stand to read it:
So now we're okay with our treatment of Japanese-Americans during World War II? That's a policy change I hadn't heard about. Shit, why aren't we rounding up suspicious looking people now? As she says, we couldn't take a chance then, so why take a chance now?
I can't quote her anymore, it's making me sick. She goes on to bizarrely blaim "the media" for preventing her from seeing caskets returning from Iraq, forgetting of course that it was the government that tried to stop these images. And naturally she makes the insane comparisons between our treatment of prisoners and the beheading of Nick Berg, joining the ranks of conservatives who want to judge our morality by the standard of "WWTD -- What Would Terrorists Do?"
Anyway, if you're a glutton for punishment, you can read the rest of her insane rant, keeping in mind how many people are likely to agree with her.
