Brilliant post.

This is how conservatives have regularly reacted to calls from concerned Americans about the use of torture. Over 100 years ago in regart to the use of the water-cure in the Philippines this is how Literary Digest made light of this:

Ma: "What's that sound of running water out there Willie?" Willie: "It's only us boys ma. We've been trying the Filipino water-cure on Bobbie Short, an' now we're pouring him out." (May 10, 1902)

Pure, unadulterated, racist, WHITEWASH! I am glad for the scarecrows you introduced around the title, Scott. The Florida Times-Union shows its true colors.
