Now Michelle Bachman wants to being back waterboarding. That's not surprising. Considering she's so blasted stupid, nothing she says is surprising. Never have I seen a presidential candidate who is so unqualified, except for Herman Cain.
Anyway, waterboarding was invented by the Communist Chinese during the Korean War to get US GI's to ellicit false confessions. That's all. The Chinese knew it was worthless as an interrogation technique. People in the Republican Party like Mrs. Bachman don't seem to grasp this. If we want people to sign false confessions to end their torture, then bring it back. But it has no value for anything else and it's a shame so many people still feel that it does.
