Guantanamo Shmantanamo

Peck...People who need to find humane yet effective interrogation techniques should take some lessons from kids. Peck...peck... All you would need to do is put one of these terrorists in a confined space with five children...peck... and they're bound to break! If you've ever seen a video of baby birds with their mouths wide open...peck... constantly squawking for Mom, then you get the picture. It's constant pecking. It's not physically painful...peck peck..., but it doesn't stop. Even when you're in the...peck... bathroom, the one place you would expect some privacy, people are pecking at the door...peck... You really find out how much you love your children when, after a day of ...peck... constant pecking, not only are they still alive, but they receive kisses goodnight. Your peck in return. They go to bed with smiles on their faces, and you walk out of the room with a...peck...smile on yours, both parties knowing that in less than ...peck...10 hours the iron will of The Mother is ...peck peck... tested again. Guantanamo Bay aint got nothin' on me!

Very clever! You must have a writer for a Dad. When you were a girl, we called the "pecking" technique "Chinese water torture." Actually, the phrase referred to Madonna's endless repetitions. For me, the ultimate torture would be to be in a small room in which my tormenters would stream Madonna's greatest hits or rap songs 24/7. I'll agree to anything -- please just stop it!

Your imagery hurts so bad I can't even comment! Don't forget breast feeding a teething baby! That is enough to make anyone cry out for mercy!
