re: #94 Charles

That’s why it’s torture. It’s pointless to argue that it isn’t. The only real question is whether it’s justified in extreme cases.

I have no doubt it’s very unpleasant but I’m not necessarily sold on the torture thing. I agreed that it should be reserved to very special cases but the whole point of these interrogations is to make them as unpleasant as possible. Room temperature, loud music, sleep deprivation and waterboarding should be allowed in cases extreme enough. There is a lot of room for personal opinion on where the “tourture” line is.
