You could just like, send her to bed without dessert or something, dude.

Yet, few complain about the "black prisons" where, according to pro-war pro-Bush conservative, Lindsey Graham, "women and children [are being] tortured, raped and murdered." I guess it's ok to torture some children, but not others.

while a shiatty thing to do, it's not waterboarding to dunk somebody's head in water. calling it that is just a ratings grab.

Yeah, war seriously farks with people's minds.

Parent of the year. I bet his kid never gets out of line again.

I like that this thread is immediately above the other bad parenting one.

djkutch: dahmers love zombie: Right, waterboarding fetishists? It's totally harmless, right?

Obviously. Even a four-year old little girl can take it. Maybe Sean Hannity will finally give it a go for charity.

Yeah, but four year olds can take lots of things, like cocks in the anus.

To be fair, it wasn't technically waterboarding. Closer to holding someone's head underwater till they nearly drown.

That doesn't make it any better but we should know the facts before we link this to torture instead of just a horrible case of child abuse.

I keep trying to come up with something witty, but all I can do is imagine beating this guy with a rubber hose.

I actually have a four-year-old daughter, but I'm still not getting a kick out of this...

♫ Now I know my ABC's, next time won't you please drown me ♫

....all i can say is what the fark.

Dances-With-Lobster: That doesn't make it any better but we should know the facts before we link this to torture instead of just a horrible case of child abuse.

Que? Tons of child abuse victims call it torture.

FTFA"Tabor told investigators that he feels his daughter is 'behind mentally for where she should be for her age,'"

I'm thinking that perhaps she isn't the one who's behind mentally for their age.

An Army sergeant who served in Iraq for 15 months has been restricted to his Washington military base after being accused of waterboarding his 4-year-old daughter because she refused to recite her ABCs.

Well, they are fighting terr'ists^®, so you have to give them some leeway.

Or maybe just erase this cocksucker with a couple of 50 cal rounds and give his innocent child to, oh, I dunno. Somebody who isn't an ambulatory bag of mouldy dogsh*t?

I really hope somebody made this up.

I submitted... better headline... yadda yadda yadda.

/Anyway, I don't see why anyone cares; it's just like a fraternity prank.

"Stancil said that the young girl was "very articulate" and did not appear to have any developmental issues. "

I would hope so.

Reading how that little girl reacted was pretty goddamn difficult.

Since posting bail, Tabor has been restricted to the base and is living in his unit's barracks, according to Piek.

Ok troops. Blanket party. Or time for an 'unfortunate' accident in the motor pool. Put him in a turret and disable the safety cord.. Family collects SGLI, this bastard never hurts her again. Win/Win.

Dances-With-Lobster is right. It's not so much waterboarding. They used that term so all you lefties would jump on this as political. Sure, it's awful and I think we should castrate him, but get your facts straight

But but but but but it's not torture. It's just washing her face, isn't that right, right wingers?

kenritz: Dances-With-Lobster is right. It's not so much waterboarding. They used that term so all you lefties would jump on this as political. Sure, it's awful and I think we should castrate him, but get your facts straight

Semantics. Making abuse and murder a game of semantics since the first time some fu*kwad put a crown on his head.

DIAF you farking douche bag.

Finally, A parent who CARES about how well their child does in school!!!

I wonder if she would give fake letter names just to get him to stop?

...as someone who's been waterboarded, this is not waterboarding...this is an open invitation to remove this scum from breathing our air...but it's still not waterboarding no matter how abc news tries to spin it that way...foxnews did the SAME thing on friday, but have since retracted the use of waterboarding in the headline...

This is a horrible, tragic child abuse case.

The fact that the only thing you see here is a politicla talking point shows how morally bankrupt you are. Get your head out of your ass and the politics tab and come back to the world where outrage at an abused girl is the more normal reaction than the rush to make a political point.

busy chillin': I wonder if she would give fake letter names just to get him to stop?

I'm wondering if she had a habit of leaving out the letters W, M, and D.

AliasUndercover: "I keep trying to come up with something witty, but all I can do is imagine beating this guy with a rubber hose."fark witty.

As a father, thinking about what this would do to a kid makes me nearly shake with rage. Anger management issues? Gee, you THINK?

Don't get me wrong, I am firmly of the opinion that kids need punishment when they do something wrong and encouragement when they do something right. Otherwise they grow up to be total farkwits. That said, this guy is part of my rationale for the death penalty. Anyone who would do something that cruel to a kid (yeah I know it wasn't full on waterboarding), needs to be farking removed the the world.

Preferably in ways that use hot oil, fire ants, and Drain-O.

Sure. Come back when you know what the hell you're talking about.

Bonanza Jellybean: Christ, the quotes by the little girl are farking heartbreaking.

/string him up

Chances are pretty good that the dad's a victim too. Maybe, or maybe not. Still, I think we should get ready for a whole lot more stories just like this one.

"When you look at the number of people who've deployed and that 37 percent of them are affected, it's staggering. That's a sobering number of men and women who will need mental health care," said Jim Sardo, a psychologist who directs the PTSD and substance abuse clinics for the Department of Veterans Affairs in Portland. Researchers found that when other serious behavioral problems were included that the number rose to 43 percent.

The analysis of 290,000 soldiers who received VA health care between 2002 and 2008 was reported Thursday in the American Journal of Public Health.

Not torture according to conservatives.

why are they not yelling for his release?

Well would this be as big of a news story if they hadn't used the term "waterboarding"? I'd say no.

Waterboarding involves a sponge in the victim's mouth and being suspended on your back on a board while water is poured over you continuously so you constantly feel like you're drowning. Sure semantics but there is a pretty big distinction; too big to be unintentional.

I'm sure everyone that claims water boarding isn't torture would be willing to undergo a little water boarding, just to prove they believe what they say.

Right?

Pics?
