Is It Torture?

Hopefully everyone has learned of the new memos about torture. If not, lay off the booze and read a paper.

The President has said that he would not authorize the use of torture, but apparently it was used. Press Sec, Perino, has said that he would save American lives. She also said that everything was safe and legal.

The US does not torture prisoners, but the people are detainees. Does that make a difference?

The US does not torture, we interrogate. What is their definition of interrogation?

This is all a word game! If you sell that water boarding is an interrogation technique, then it could not possibly be torture.

I guess it is one's view that makes the difference. I mean, I am sure that there were Nazis that thought what they were doing was somehow saving the country. And North Vietnam, the same.

I will put it this way--If it is something that you would not want done to you, then it is TORTURE!
