Trump: 'I Would Approve Waterboarding, and if You Go Beyond That, I'm OK With That' - cnsnews.com
Excerpt from this article:
"I would bring back waterboarding,' Trump said. 'And I would make it a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding.'...Stephanopoulos asked Trump if he would authorize torture.
"I
would absolutely authorize something beyond waterboarding. And believe
me, it will be effective. If we need information, George, you have our
enemy cutting heads off of Christians and plenty of others, by the
hundreds, by the thousands.'"

New Report Calls Evidence of U.S. Torture "Indisputable"
New Report Calls Evidence of U.S. Torture "Indisputable":
"A two-year-long non-partisan study has concluded it is "indisputable" that the United States engaged in the practice of torture in the years following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The 577-page report by the Constitution Project also makes clear that the highest officials of the U.S. government were responsible. The policy is unprecedented in the United States, the report said, in "the kind of considered and detailed discussions that occurred after 9/11 directly involving a president and his top advisers on the wisdom, propriety and legality of inflicting pain and torment on some detainees in our custody.""

What Would Richard Wurmbrand Think of Waterboarding?
Waterboarding is the practice of pouring water over someone's head to give them the 'sensation of drowning.' Its purpose is to elicit information from suspected terrorists or others who may have information that would be useful to national security.
Richard Wurmbrand (1909 - 2001) was a Christian minister who suffered intense persecution and torture for preaching the gospel in Romania during the 'grand ole days' of communism.
I don't know what Pastor Wurmbrand would have thought of waterboarding. But I do know what he thought about torture - especially torture that was inflicted against Christians who faithfully proclaim the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Here are two short quotes from his great book, Tortured for Christ:
"It was strictly forbidden to preach to other prisoners, as it is in captive nations today. It was understood that whoever was caught doing this received a severe beating. A number of us decided to pay the price for the privilege of preaching, so we accepted their terms. It was a deal: we preached and they beat us. We were happy preaching; they were happy beating us—so everyone was happy."
"The following scene happened more times than I can remember. A brother was preaching to the other prisoners when the guards suddenly burst in, surprising him halfway through a phrase. They hauled him down the corridor to their beating room. After what seemed an endless beating, they brought him back and threw him—bloody and bruised—on the prison floor. Slowly, he picked up his battered body, painfully straightened his clothing and said, 'Now, brethren, where did I leave off when I was interrupted?' He continued his gospel message! I have seen beautiful things!"
Richard Wurmbrand went to be with his Lord on February 17, 2001. I'm looking forward to meeting him one day in glory!
The Bible says:
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and their shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor signing, neither shall their be any more pain, for the former things are passed away." - Revelation 21:4
