I've heard it all...

We don't torture anymore, OMG what a harsh reality. Let's not offend anyone or scare the little ones. Oh no we don't torture, we, (ready for this????)... We use enhanced interrogation methods.

Tell that to the Viet Nan vet that had bamboo shoved under his fingernails that he wasn't tortured he only had enhanced interrogation methods used on him.

Sorry for the rant but I'm sick of this bull shyte.

I have to ask...

"We use enhanced interrogation methods"

Who actually said this?

Nora something, CBS Morning News here in the states. Friggin' disgusting. I may be paraphrasing but the term 'enhanced interrogation' was used that I know.

Just like:
people don't commit adultery or fornication...they have an affair.
people don't kill babies...they just terminate unwanted pregnancy.

Its sounds nicer to say it differently.

Kinda Joe. But the torture thing is just over the top.

We spy, we steal, we cheat, we kill, and yes we torture and I would be willing to bet that we do it better than anyone else ever...

No one but the very strong or the completely insensitive wants to 'see the sausage made'.

We want the high comfort this country offers but every down pillow required plucking the goose. By hand or machine it ain't pleasant but you want the nicey nice thats what it takes...

Being a surfer I always thought water boarding sounds like fun.

If everyone stuck to the rules noting would get sorted. What happens is for the general good.

LOL you think we're the only ones in the world who do this to people? How do you think we got here?

What's next? Soon you'll tell us the Easter bunny isn't real.

Exactly, anything else is just a self comforting lie.

Absolutely agree. The real world is a harsh place. Some choose not to live there and get cranky when they accidentally get a glimpse.

Eff that. It's stupid, but that's one of the reasons why my kids go to a Catholic school. A Catholic School gets that Halloween is a harmless kid's holiday but our ultra PC morons in public schools don't. They also celebrate Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, and every other normal holiday. If you don't like it you can GTFO because they don't take a dime of government money.

FWIW... If you have someone for long enough you don't need to touch them to get them to talk and everyone will talk eventually.
Just a system of constant interrogation will get the job done.

The problem is time. Is the information time sensitive?

People don't understand torture IMO. My working definition is something like, if it doesn't cause lasting injury then it is not torture. I thought there was nothing wrong with what took place in Zero Dark 30 as it appeared to be key in getting OBL. Now if they break all your fingers.... torture.

I agree. The problem is who makes that decision? And were does it ultimately lead you?
Very very rarely if ever is torture justified and even on the most extreme case you could still argue not to do it.

Every war ends and then you have to live with your conscience afterwards.

And how good is the information you're getting? Are they just telling you anything to make you stop?
