Then we’re arguing about nothing because we both want to see it used the way it WAS being used. It was being used very selectively with safeguards in place. It was being well documented and tracked.
Whether it technically is torture or not I don’t care. I think it is, but I think it is acceptable. I can be just as fine calling it a valid interrogation technique if it makes you happy. It may not cross your line as torture but it doesn’t matter.
Of course I would prefer not to use it either but I also like to have people send me money because I’m a nice guy. Deal with reality.
Glad we got that cleared up.
Of course, I realize my desires are not going to be codified in law anytime soon. I was offering an opinion. I am not going to storm the Bastille because the government does not agree.
