I'll probably leave it to that, since I'm not sure I could articulate my thoughts any better. <br /><br />By the way, I was in Ohio last month for my Papal, and walking up to the surgical waiting room, I saw your picture up on the wall! For some reason I figured you worked out of downtown Cleveland, and I was surprised to see it. Pretty cool wall of fame they have up there. I initially thought we should get you in on a consult, because reading your blog, I certainly know you care about your patients, especially elderly ones, but he was already in pre-op, figured it was a little late, and honestly we liked his surgeon, and with his diagnosis it wouldn't have mattered who operated. <br /><br />Anyway, just thought I'd share my "celebrity" encounter!Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982533500486854087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760353953251845523.post-3561155546106276282010-02-19T15:39:36.472-05:002010-02-19T15:39:36.472-05:00To Buckeye,

Your straw man arguments don't hold much water around these parts. Waterboarding is illegal. Period.<br /><br />Andrew-<br />The drone situation is definitely bothersome. Sending unmanned planes into enemy territory to strafe a village strikes me as being a form of unjust, immoral war. You remove the moral hazard from the equation of war (no risk of loss of life to yourself). So yeah, I agree with you----we need to re-evaluate the drone policy. But waterboarding is not more effective than standard interrogation techniques. It produces unreliable intelliegence. Read about it. It's not an either/or situation between drones/waterboarding.

Misses feeling like he’s the top guy. Wanting verification that all his actions were those of historical GREATNESS. Wanting constant accolades to support his professional past life’s validity. Then there’s the other part of needing to get in media and try to be worthy of a sound bite so that he can get some people to pay for speaking engagements, books and all that. After all he’s probably shelling out some serious cash to Sarah Palin for her marketing tips.<br /><br />-SCRNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760353953251845523.post-66309772726512829572010-02-19T07:39:28.645-05:002010-02-19T07:39:28.645-05:00I'm against Water Boarding too...220V to the t...I'm against Water Boarding too...220V to the testicles is much more effective..:)At least Cheney has the Nads to be honest, unlike the Commander in Chief(Peace be upon Him)who is doing pretty much the same thing.
