I like that line about a jury of your peers

“Sort of a jury of your peers kind of thing.” Laugh out loud funny, Uncle Jay. You’re awesome!

Thank you, Uncle Jay, for your perspective and your humor. I get tired of the one-side-or-the-other media. Justifying torture based on results is a slippery slope. The ends justifying the means is not the best policy. However, it sounds to me like the Bush adminstration established reasonable safeguards regarding the techniques that interigators were allowed to use. If the CIA was pulling out finger nails or something, there might be a case, but it is hard for me to see waterboarding as torture when we do the same to our own troops during SEREs training.

Good Morning My Dear Uncle Jay~

Torture, ahhhhh. Wouldn’t that be something like being forced to watch American Idol’s, Ryan Seacrest, smile in the dark? Could his ‘teeth’ be any whiter? The glare would be blinding…

Uncle Jay….. I’m still laughing.
I’m so addicted to you.

Big hugs from California~

Oh Uncle Jay, you make me wish every day were a Monday. Except without having to get up early and stuff.

I’m a liberal and I enjoy Uncle Jay. He makes fun of everyone–in case you all didn’t notice the part about Dick Cheney and FAUX, er, FOX News. He’s fair and balanced. Uncle Jay rocks!

Thanks for covering everybody. Loved the new look for Susan Boyle. It really could work. Good news show today.

Hi Oncle J:
The use of torture as a means of ‘protecting’ us from the malicious ambitions of our enemies raises this questin: Would you or I resport to such means if the lives of our family members were at immediate risk? Or would we be willing to sacrifice them for the sake of preserving our system of values? Not an easy question to ask, but an easy question to act upon.

However, we might substitute skate boarding for water boarding. This is not as cruel as other methods of interrogation employed by our government. It might even be fun (is this a crime?). But, after the serious injuries it would no doubt produce, there would inevitably be another congressional investigation.

Sincerely,
Special Agent Robert
