Why? Because it induces panic? Triggers primal instincts? Is beyond one’s control? Triggers reflexes? You haven’t really given a useable definition before you say “…that’s why…”

I’m not troubled by any kind of emotional pain or panic for the people that plan 9-11 or like attacks. Especially if it means stopping future ones.
I don’t like to imagine the toll that administering this takes on our agents, though.

When it was used against US soldiers in Vietnam and WWII, we had absolutely no hesitation about labeling it “torture,” by the way.
