Did anyone read the idiocy from Missouri Senator Kit Bond regarding waterboarding? Here is what the Daily Kos posted: Is the distinguished gentleman from Missouri a lying sack of crap, or just stupid? Kit Bond, who despite all appearances to the contrary is actually a United States Senator: GWEN IFILL: Do you think that waterboarding, as I described it, constitutes torture? SEN. KIT BOND: There are different ways of doing it. It’s like swimming, freestyle, backstroke. The waterboarding could be used almost to define some of the techniques that our trainees are put through, but that’s beside the point. It’s not being used. Yes, it is of course comparable to swimming. Being tied down, then having water poured down your nose and throat until you come as close as possible to asphyxiation, then having a rag or plastic wrap shoved into your mouth so that you cannot cough the water back out is exactly like learning the backstroke. Is there any way this guy can be recalled? This is totally against what the people of this state said in 2006 with the election of Claire McCaskill. Senator Bond is a real embarrassment to this state, and we need to tell him so. I wrote him suggesting that he resign, but that was pointless since we know that he will not.
