Rudy Giuliani: Waterboarding may be more humane than drone strikes

Washington (CNN) - Rudy Giuliani said Friday he wasn't sure which was more humane: death by drone strike or being waterboarded, a tactic widely regarded as torture.

During an interview with Family Research Council President Tony Perkins at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, the former New York City mayor and top Donald Trump surrogate said he considered waterboarding to be better than drone strikes because the victim has the chance to save themselves.

"Rather than capturing people because (President Barack) Obama didn't want to fill up Guantanamo, he used drones to kill them," he said at the forum in Washington. "I also can't figure out for the life of me what's more humane -- waterboarding or killing somebody with a drone."

A 2014 Senate report condemned the use of so-called enhanced interrogation techniques, which included waterboarding, saying the program produced little valuable intelligence. The CIA says it no longer employs the tactic.

1. Well then

Let's waterboard him and then drone strike him, and let him choose.

3. I most certainly would not advocate

a violent end for any other human being. Yet at the same time I would be less than honest if I told you I would grieve very long if six or seven hundred alligators stormed out of the New York sewers, grabbed Rudy Giuliani, and dragged him back down to the vast shit-encrusted labyrinthine tunnels never to be heard from again.

6. Hey Rudy!

Why don't you volunteer to be waterboarded to let us know how "humane" it is? Your boy Hannity said it wasn't torture and volunteerd for it. Keith Olberman took him up on it and Hannity, true to form, wusses out!

7. I also have to wonder if you polled our special forces

if they would rather neutralize the enemy by drone or insert a team to try to capture them? In all honesty what would these individuals share through torture that was actionable anyway.
