Waaaagh!

Hmmm...
So it's pretty clear that waterboarding is A-OK in this country...
whereas 11 young men ganging up on a young mentally disabled girl, sexually assaulting her, filming the assault and distributing it on DVD is not... oh wait - yes it is - sorta... though in this case it's not IN this country...

But it makes me wonder - why cant we institute waterboarding as a standard punishment? If we're not going to bother rehabilitating people anyway - lets just make their time in prison as absolutely miserable as possible. The old 'throw up a wall around manhattan' just isnt enough, not when we have a modern day Devil's Island running down in Cuba... I mean - leg irons 24x7... a constant 50db of Michael Bolton's 'When a Man Loves a Woman' on infinite replay... and hell, if waterboarding is good enough for the govt - how about making it standard when dealing with government officials guilty of fraud with public funds. Hey vice president Vader - watch your cornhole buddy...

I suppose the 'right' answer in dealing with these 11 men is rehabilitation - so it never happens again... but damn if a couple decades strapped to a chair watching Beastmaster 2 doesnt sound like a good idea.
