    U.S. soldier has been accused of 'waterboarding' his four-year-old daughter because she couldn't recite the alphabet.
    Joshua Tabor admitted to police that he used the CIA torture technique because he was so angry.
    As his daughter 'squirmed' to get away, Tabor said he submerged her face - upwards - three or four times until the water was lapping around her forehead and jawline.
    Tabor, 27, admitted to investigators that his daughter was terrified of water and he had deliberately chosen the punishment.

    To right-thinking-people, this guy should obviously be locked up.

    But i wonder about those far-right-thinking-people, whom believe that waterboarding is not torture. Do they think it's ok to waterboard kids?
    Would love to see Dick Cheney's response!

    Sounds like fun.

    Im sure even Dick Cheney would have no problem saying that an interrogation tecnique developed for use on adults shouldn't be used on a 4 year old as punishment for not knowing the alphabet.

    Hope he is only supervised visits to see her until she's 18.

    He needs to be humiliated to the degree that his little girl must have been.

    Fcuking prick.

    The worst thing is the kid was probably really excited when he told her she was going water boarding.

    And the rest...

    Surely that punishment is a very mild slap on the wrist for a trained soldier who used a terrorist technique developed to extract information on his own 4 year old daughter, who's afraid of water

    Why is nobody asking the important question?

    Does she now know her ABC's? If so we should start implementing this teaching technique in every class room.

    Actually the whole thing reminds me of a movie I seen but can't recall the title.

    Some soldier comes back after been prisoner of war where he was tortured and his mind snapped.

    Nobody notices until he has his own family leaving as prisoners of war.

    There is a film in the cinema now called Brothers where..

    A man is forced to batter his comrade's skull in and then goes home.
    His eight year old daughter steals the movie though - she deserves an oscar, truly.

    Can I think of something hilarious that involves mixing up waterboarding and surfboards?










    No. No I can't.
