re: #135 SanFranciscoZionist

Well do you think if you killed three little girls and had two others dieing in some hide out and I was a cop; would it be abuse if I yelled at you? how about if I made you stay up all night asking questions? what if I said I was going to through you out of the window if you didn’t tell me where those girls were? what if I said I was with the mexican government and was going to take you to prison in mexico?

I would not consider any of those to be abuse

Waterboarding, cold cell, sleep deprivation, well those are probably abusive, and the CIA, DIA, FBI, DOD, etc all wanted to know what they could do in the way of abuse and not step into torture. That is what the memos were about.
