Subject: RE: BS: Is Fox News a Terrorist Organization???
I wrote an email to Sean Hannity suggesting that he prove that waterboarding is not torture, if he has the guts. I don't expect a reply.

Why did you even bother?   There is no one in the world who doesn't know what waterboarding is by now. (thanks a lot George and Dick that this should even be part of our vocabulary!)

So no one needs anyone at Fox or NPR or the Beeb anywhere else to help them decide whether it's torture.   We all have a vivid enough picture that we can decide for ourselves. Furthermore, what you asked him to do is not logically possible (not that Hannity is smart enough to know this) because it comes down to definitionalism.

Why are you so exercised over Hannity, who has his little loony following and that's all, when Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich, who hold many of the same wacky views, get reported on ALL the US networks, including NPR, when they issue some statement?
