Tim Kennedy was an 18X and former UFC fighter he isn't retired I thought he was in the TXNG ?....what troubles me is his lack of SA but common for the new era in which the waterboardng issue has gone somewhat cold outside of the accusation from Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and the new CIA director....for the most part many of the interrogators CIA and contractors who used it have admitted it was of little value for gaining intel due to the fact that many harsh techniques produced false intel just to stop the process.....so the troubling part is he is willing to do anything to be relevant but has the personality of someone on the autistic spectrum...not really the brightest bulb...but as a current or former SF guy who grew up in privilege even by U.S. standards and a world class athlete with the finest health care and fitness not to mention that he apparently had been preparing to do this willingly for the sake of personal publicity re-ignite the torture discussion is an idiot...especially as stated he CHOSE to do this not under detainment and not under the fear of really dying and the fact that he is going home and he has an incentive of getting his own show as part of his expectations.....Jesus Christ this was a negative for conservatives.

Whether he thinks its torture or not is not the discussion anymore the fact was it was legal then it was determined to no longer be the issue....he has been trying like crazy since he left active SF to be famous at any costs.
