No, it’s a reasonable reply...thanks. I am a military brat, my Dad was Navy...he would not have approved of torture...assuming this is torture which I hope it is not. I would like to see this ended...no good will come of endless investigations.
I don’t want to be crude but just imagine what can be done with a bit of piano wire and a short length of dowel rod. If you will do so I think you will begin to get the idea what torture really is.
Torture is NOT making someone believe something is happening that, in reality, is NOT happening. It is a perfectly legitimate interrogation technique.
