A reader of my article “Waterboard an A-rab for Jesus,” in reference to Khalid Sheik Mohammed being waterboarded 183 times, wonders if his neighbors would react differently if they learned that a female “terrorist” had been subjected to forcible rape 183 times in a month. This is an excellent point. If torture is okay, then why not rape female terrorists until they talk? It would hurt them less than pulling out their fingernails. I’m sure there would be no shortage of soldiers willing to participate. Hey, if it saves one American life then it must be okay. Right?
