Panty them all.
That been the problem with all the grandstanding in DC all along. Various irresponsible politicans, egged on by an incompetent “News” media, have thrown around the word “torture” with reckless disregard for the facts.
The USA has not, and does not, use torture.
Leaving the lights on at a dim level 24/7 - low enough to interfere with close vision, but bright enough to interfere with sleep - seems to me might be an effective way to induce real discomfort and fatigue on a prisoner and I don’t see how it could be termed torture under even the most expansive definition.
We all know and understand that if we do not use torture, our troops will not be tortured if captured! /s
“(though not so extreme as to cause hallucination)”
they call it torture when waterboarding terrorists? hmmm... just this week I watched my 2 year old granddaughter learn how to hold her breath and swim to the side of the pool, guess it’s all perspective...rto
Yes, they are. They are covered as nonuniformed combatants--terrorists. Guess what? They have no rights. Period. You can kill them at will.
The Geneva Conventions recognized that if armies degraded into general terrorism, it would not be to civilization's benefit. Therefore, terrorists, spies and sabateurs should be treated harshly to discourage such behavior.
Now our government wants to afford them the same protections enjoyed by uniformed combatants fighting on behalf of national identities--very foolish... and dangerous.
Torture as defined by the left and its publicity arm, the media, is anything that the military does while Bush is president.
Aggressive interrogation helps America win the war on terror,
therefore, “libs” oppose it.
