fucking disgusting
A soldier waterboarded his four-year-old daughter because she was unable to recite her alphabet.
Joshua Tabor admitted to police he had used the CIA torture technique because he was so angry.
As his daughter 'squirmed' to get away, Tabor said he submerged her face three or four times until the water was lapping around her forehead and jawline.
Tabor, 27, who had won custody of his daughter only four weeks earlier, admitted choosing the punishment because the girl was terrified of water.

The practice of waterboarding was used by the CIA to break Al Qaeda suspects at Guantanamo Bay. Detainees had water poured over their face until they feared they would drown. President Barack Obama has since outlawed the practice.
Tabor, a soldier at the Lewis-McChord base in Tacoma, Washington, was arrested after being seen walking around his neighbourhood wearing a Kevlar military helmet and threatening to break windows.
Police discovered the alleged waterboarding when they went to his home in the Tacoma suburb of Yelm and spoke to his girlfriend.
She told them about the alleged torture and the terrified girl was found hiding in a closet, with bruising on her back and scratch marks on her neck and throat.
Asked how she got the bruises, the girl is said to have replied: 'Daddy did it.'
During a police interview Tabor allegedly admitted grabbing his daughter, placing her on the kitchen counter and submerging her face into a bowl of water.
Sergeant Rob Carlson said the punishment was carried out because the girl would not recite the alphabet.
Police have not revealed Tabor's military service, but his base is home to units that have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Tabor has been charged with assault and ordered to remain on his base and have no contact with his daughter or girlfriend, who has not been named. He is due to appear in court this week.
The girl has been taken into care. Her natural mother lives in Kansas but Tabor had been granted custody by a court.

We probably wouldn't have much of an Armed Forces left after that. There are a lot of bad apples like this out there.pmoney25 wrote: Lock this guy up and he should be discharged from the Military Immediately. I don't want guys like this in the Armed Forces.

Agree. I'm not even necessarily opposed to the use of it on terror suspects. But this is just sick.

Unbelievable. Even more unbelievable that he won custody of his daughter in the first place. Was Mom an ax murderer?

I remember back when Mancow was on radio here in Columbus, He actually subjected himself to Waterboarding. If you don't know, he is definitely a Right Wing guy(Libertarian more than anything) and used to think Waterboarding was a joke but after doing it, he said it was absolutely the worst feeling he has ever had and that he belives it is 100% torture now.
Having a Child around this age myself, this makes me sick to my stomach.

Why is he in trouble?
I thought this wasn't torture, so this can't be any worse than a spanking.

Big difference between waterboarding a terrorist and waterboarding a 4 year old girl because she messed up on the alphabet.derek bomar wrote: what's the big deal? Waterboarding isn't torture...durr
If you can't see that then you might be retarded.
This guy should be locked up, you just don't do that to a kid.

Derek is very pro left wing, so I'm assuming he was being sarcastic since Bush claimed this wasn't torture and Obama declared it was.jmog wrote:Big difference between waterboarding a terrorist and waterboarding a 4 year old girl because she messed up on the alphabet.derek bomar wrote: what's the big deal?

I'm sure when he was awarded custody he didn't come off as psychotic to the judge. It's hard to judge a persons mental state in such brief appearances.

Why is there a difference? If it isn't torture then it shouldn't matter.
Bitch better learn her alphabet next time.

No it's funny whether you have kids or not.
If my kids aren't learning their letters they'll be getting some water on their face.

It's not even waterboarding. He dunked her face in the water....two completely different things.

Give the guy a break. He's a hero.
He deserves to be put on a pedestal by virtue of his occupation. This isn't some civilian we're talking about.
