“Is waterboarding torture?” I want everyone who considers this an interesting question to get the fuck out of my country. Go live in fucking Yemen or something. Here’s the rule: Don’t do evil things to people. If what you want to do is close enough to torture to prompt a national hairsplitting festival, then don’t fucking do it. Why do you even want to do things like that? What the fuck is wrong with you?
I’m sorry, Mr. Hitchens, you missed it. Is waterboarding torture? I don’t give a shit. Here’s a better question. Why are you asking this stupid, filthy, deeply twisted question? Here’s the rule we follow in my country, when it’s not run by a kakistocracy: Don’t do anything, to anyone, that’s even a little bit like torture, ever. Why didn’t you put that in your Vanity Fair piece? How much did they pay you to say something “interesting,” rather than that?

“It is obvious that American lives are at least 4-5 times more important than any other life, so this is reasonable.”
This is pure comedy gold.
First off, I do not consider waterboarding to be a form of torture. This is because it is just and is performed with the best of intentions. The people who are waterboarded have every intention of attacking American citizens, which is undoubtedly the most horrible thing to do.
Let me ask you this: do you want to be the victim of a terrorist attack? These intense interrogations are necessary and just, to save American lives. It is obvious that American lives are at least 4-5 times more important than any other life, so this is reasonable.
Please do not use such obscene language in your protest of just and right forms of saving American lives.
