[QUOTE="Jones, post: 661469, member: 4805"] Wasn't trying to be combative, sorry if it came off that way. I read the article and just gave my impressions of it. Nance's underlying point was that waterboarding is a form of torture, and since Boot was writing in response I expected him to directly challenge that assertion at some point and was a little surprised when he didn't. I probably shouldn't speculate as to why though, given his premise that the whole thing is being blown out of proportion for political reasons it's entirely possible that he agrees with Nance on that point but just doesn't think it's that important. Like I said, I don't disagree with some of the points he does make. Small Wars Journal does make for interesting reading. Coincidentally, Boot [URL="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/28/AR2009122802014_pf.html"][COLOR=Blue][U]wrote a column[/U][/COLOR][/URL] that ran in the WP yesterday addressing an issue that doesn't get much attention in the main stream press.
