    I say pardon them

    if in return Obama must pardon anyone who can get to the ringleaders and water-board them for an afternoon or two. Fair trade I think. Oh right, kidnapping people and torturing them are reprehensible and horrible acts which no person deserving of any pardon would ever do.

    Funny how water-boarding gets treated as a misspelling unless you separate the two words with a hyphen or space. I guess they really aren't supposed to go together.
