Waterboarding Cows = Illegal

Waterboarding people…. not so much.

Agents are scrambling, inspections are being mobilized, people are outraged, emails are being written, telephone calls are being made, and the cable news channels are awash, today about the treatment of cattle at a California slaughter house, at least one of which was subjected to “simulated drowning“.

Would that agents of the US government could act so swiftly, and the American people and the cable news channels could get as worked up about waterboarding people.

Why isn’t the USDA running Americas foreign detention houses?
