Because it's a red herring.

Ah yes, another man who thinks water boarding is not torture. It's equivalent to having to listen to adult contemporary on the radio.

I don't remember specifically saying I thought it wasn't torture ... maybe I did, I'd have to go look. I think you are one who has failed over and over to even define the word.

But the point is, one's refusal to participate in a demonstration is not a tacit admission that it is.

EDIT: I looked. I said I don't accept that waterboarding is de facto torture.

Edit: Tex would like to clarify that despite his countless posts on the subject, he has never taken a position on what waterboarding IS. It just isn't what Waters thinks it is.

If they would have used Scotch, Hitchens would still be laying there now.

Nice one. I laughed out loud at that one. Not just a mental laugh.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
