Still I feel without any qualms that Rep. Rohrabacher would not only find the activities far from “pranks” and would confess to stealing the Lindbergh baby in less than 30 minutes. I would invite the press to attend should he decide to accept.
OK, so am I using strong words, yes I am. Do I believe he will accept my invitation. Absolutely not! He like the rest of the Republicans on Capitol Hill are more than willing to put people through things they would never endure. Most are not veterans, yet they send our troops to war. None but John McCain have experienced torture, yet they endorse its use. None face the economic challenges of most Americans, yet they make the policies that exacerbate the problems. It’s time for them to put up or shut up.
To give you an idea of how out of touch with reality Rohrabacher is, here is his statement on what constitutes torture:
They seem like more like pranks, hazing pranks from some fraternity than some well-thought-out policy of how do you torture someone and get information from them. […]
I will have to tell you, when most people hear the word “torture,” which has been bandied around here, I don’t believe that they think of it as holding a growling dog near somebody but not the growling dog — you know, it’s one thing to have the growling dog eating someone’s leg or arm versus — which is absolute torture. It’s another thing to have a growling dog around, or putting panties on someone’s head, or discussing — telling him he had repressed homosexual tendencies in his presence. I mean, I’m sorry, these are acts of humiliation.

rohrabacher is a tool, thank god there is some real opposition to his re-election (debbie cook) - panties on the head is actually highly abusive and degrading for a faithful muslum but regardless the torture issue at guantanamo is much larger and still not addressed
remember rohrabacher is the same congressman he blirted out at a different hearing on torture and interrogation that said "I hope it is your families that die" to the speakers with concern over torture
True or false? During Thursday's hearing, Dana Rohrabacher uttered the word "panties" 35 times.
True. At one point he seemed to be arousing himself with the repetition.
False. He only said "panties" eight times. Still, that's may be a single-session record for a congressman saying "panties."
