Water-boarding is torture. As a doctor the mere notion that you can support physical coercion is appalling. A president of country that supports human rights and democracy should have stood up and denounced ALL such measures. Bush is a disgrace as a human being as well as a president and those that condone the use of torture, even milder forms of it, stand equally condemned.
To be honest I find your attitude astonishing. Presumably you entered the medical profession to do good and yet you give implicit support for torture, denial of due process, warrantless eavesdropping etc etc...

Hi Geoff! I think he supported "waterboarding", a technique that simulates the sensation of drowning, but actually creates no injuries. I do not recall him taking a stand supporting the allegations that the rolling stone kid made. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
