Waterboarding

Dmarco,

Is it really the issue of waterboarding, or is it more about the fact that citizens have no clue what is going on with their own government? Waterboarding is used as a training tool for certain (note certain) volunteers in the military, not all of them. In fact, to assert that all US Soldiers somehow go through waterboarding training or are submitted to that is wrong.

Maybe you can make that argument to Hell Week participants. Enjoy the debate, and welcome to the cold world of politics, where capital letters usually indicate a poor position. Cheers, Mako out.

Threading in forums

We are working on adding threading to the forums. Clicking on the headline of a post will now get you related posts in a few different ways.

- If the post was sent to us in response to an article, clicking on that post's headline will retrieve all comments on that article, and clicking on the "See related article" link will send you to the article itself.

- If the comment was submitted in response to a cybersurvey, clicking on the headline will take you to the cybersurvey and its related comments.

- If you click on the headline of a forum post that was simply posted in the forum, you will get all posts with that same headline.

If you want to add a comment to a thread in the forum, use the same headline as the post to which you want to respond.
