On Giuliani's tough talking and waterboarding...

It's infuriating, reading news about Rudy Giuliani's trashing John McCain in not being tough due to McCain's rejection of torture methods like waterboarding, and for McCain's lack of experience in running an establishment (like a city, for example, as Giuliani did in New York City).

While I do not doubt the latter claim since McCain was never a mayor of any kind, as Giuliani did. (Whether I care for it is an entirely different matter.) And while I'm no fan of GOP, I find it very disturbing, for Giuliani to imply that McCain is not being tough since McCain disagrees with torture methods.

Giuliani has never been in war. He's never even been TO a war. Being a prosecutor in grilling suspects (and I have no doubts that anyone would want to strangle those definitive suspects in heinous crimes) is one thing, but torturing human beings is another, totally. Time and again, studies show that torture does not yield superior results in extracting useful results from suspects since they're prone to giving in to say whatever that the torturer wants to hear.

But why does men want to stick to the use of torture? It probably has more to the fact that, when you hate the other person (suspect) so much, you want to hurt them; of course if you can extract any useful info from them, that would be added bonus. That's my suspicion of it.

Giuliani reminds me of his tough talking colleague of George W Bush who himself was never in any way, yet claim to know everything there is, about being tough and all in war. It's laughable that cowards like these can twist facts, and turn around to point fingers at McCain and John Kerry (by Bush during the 2004 election) for not being tough enough for handling wars. Of course, we now know Bush is only good at slinging guns, but no good at all in handling anything that requires the use of his brain. While Giuliani can at least talk properly (as compared to Bush), he would turn out to be just another gun slinger.

PS: Then again, I don't expect Giuliani to win the GOP primary anyways...
