I thought they trained soldiers to use water boarding only to extract reliable information from terrorists?

Seriously, sounds like a stress reaction. No different than a guy belting his kid, but certainly more dramatic. I wonder how this kid is going to treat her kids?

Introducing torture into popular culture through movies and war is just more dehumanization. Manufacturing consensus - it might enrage people today but tomorrow?

Dehumanization in the news.

Hey it is perfectly normal everyone waterboards their kids. It certainly isn't torture.

Donald Rumsfeld should be help accountable and executed for this act.

If they will do it to their own children, they won't hesitate to do it to you.

Keep that in mind when they are deployed to your town to "help".

Seriously though, as someone who has been around quite a bit of soldiers (and sailors when I was in Navy), that person represents a sociopathic minority...

The critical missing information is - was it effective ? Did it help the kid to remember the alphabet ?

Dang, I guess I'll cross post to the isolated incidents thread.
This thread has nothing to do with Peak Oil or any other form of energy. It is disruptive. Do not post it again.
