What is the definition of modern torture?

[benja32one]

The raging liberal search for a proper definition of torture, especially on 'mainstream' media is a hoot. I see many who want to approach prisoners with politically correct sensitivity and concern for any permanent damage to their psychological health, worried about the USA image abroad. Jaun Williams on FOX today floundered around in his answers to Charles Krauthammer's hypothetically dangerous prisoner who may have info about an imminent event. Jaun was unable to think outside the liberal box and give a clear answer to how much force or nastiness is necessary to get someone to spill the beans. Any movie fan who saw "Midnight Express" has a good idea of the torture poor Jaun is against. Abu Ghraib was a schoolboy type of prank compared to what is necessary! What I see now, of Gitmo is standard for Marine Brigs, and has been for over a century, (maybe even nastier before I saw one...from the outside in Okinawa) which I would classify with college hazing of the sixties. Jaun Williams needs to come to grips with the fact that Terrorists are never going to treat our captured boys with such kid gloves...THEY HAVE NO RULES...as such they should be treated as mean as needed to open their mouths. The people we are fighting are descended from ancient Assyrians who were famous for ringing captive towns with spiked human heads for the intimidation/control of the populace. These are educated perpetrators of horror, but their learning has not touched their souls or hearts, full of an evilly energized philosophy that only can be described as murder in the name of assumed religion. Don't be shy, INTERROGATORS: use any ruse, any device, any pain, any threat, any coercion, any promise of lenient future treatment to secure the info you need to thwart the NEXT ONE. And...mark it down...there will be a next attack on our soil here or overseas...and yes the liberals we always have with us, butfor those killed in a future preventable attack it will be too late. Should we send the liberal elite out to be interrogators? I'd like to have a little talk with some of these cowardly beheaders, I lived in the East, and there are ways.

What is the definition of modern torture?

Being forced to listen to a Clinton or Kerry speech.

I have always liked Israel's form of 'persuation'.

Take a common folding chair, have a person lie with their back on the chair, and tie his feet and arms to the legs of the chair. Thus, a person is resting on their back, lying with their head on the floor, with their feet touching the floor. Not painful, but not entirely comfortable either.

Ask them a question, if you don't like the answer; leave them for a day. Come back, release them for 5-10 minuts; as the question again. If you don't like the answer, repeat the process.

The comfy chair?

To Hodar:
Opinions are like (supply anatomical orifices), everyone has one.

[AQGeiger]

Okay, I'm having a bit of trouble visualizing this.

Is the chair folded up when the person is laid down on it?

[ShadowDancer]

Can I include what I do to my kids?

[JamminJAY]

Torture is fine just don't let the PETA folks find out.

The comfy chair?

NOT THE COMFY CHAIR!!!?!?!!!?!!

[The Drowning Witch]

Ohhhhh the HUMANITY....

[Hodar]

No, the chair is not folded. Instead of sitting on the chair, you lay your mid-back on the chair, as if you were lying down and only had on chair to lie on. Your head and feet drape over the chair, onto the floor. You are then tied in this awkward position, and you spend a bit of time in this position.
