re: #796 oslogin

I don’t think it’s newspeak. There is a difference between a legal definition and a layman’s definition of torture. The definition you provided is “an act committed by a person acting under the color of law specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering “. Is this SEVERE physical or mental pain or suffering? Where do you draw the line between moderate and severe pain or suffering? The legal definition of torture, in my opinion, should be one which leaves our intelligence agencies with enough tools to do their job.
