It's insulting and just plain foolish to use the same word to describe both sets of events.

The difference between civilized and uncivilized societies is that one is okay with torture and the other is not. If you love torture so much, go live in the Middle East.

the guy being dropped into the water in a dunk tank has the skill to right this moment get rid of themselves from the placement. they're on top of problems with no count number if or no longer they arrive out of the water. they have no a threat reason to concern that they would be held below the water and drowned to death. Water boarding isn't a similar. whilst there is finally no everlasting actual harm, there's a psychological portion of outrage in touch. The terrorists being water boarded had no thank you to flee, and ought to no longer be definitely specific that they'd not be drowned to death interior the technique. the phobia of forthcoming death is what reasons it to grow to be categorised as psychological torture, and is why it works. That ingredient would not exist in a controlled ecosystem, consequently it can not be whilst in comparison with any controlled undertaking like a dunking sales area or maybe what our provider contributors journey in coaching. i'm no longer adverse to using the technique, yet I do have self assurance human beings ought to be sensible approximately it.

Yup, If we don't give 'em umbrellas in their goat milk, we're the torturers.
I guess you could say Daniel Pearl wasn't tortured because decapitation with a sawing motion is relatively quick, as opposed to being trapped on a tropical island with a rug and koran, islamic yummies, and 600 of your frat buddies.

Who cares about the guy? I don't. A 3 year in waiting confession of the obvious is pretty worthless if you ask me. Torture him, don't torture him, who cares? Someone like that can be burned alive for the evil he dished out to others.

I agree! I wonder what they would say if they were captured by islamic militants and really tortured then come back and realize that water boarding is a walk in the park.

What's the difference no matter what the Liberals are convinced we are wrong and everyone else is right. Everyday it changes GW is and Idiot, GW is a master mind, Blah blah blah.

Nothing we could do to him would possibly match what he did to his own people nor to the WSJ reporter whom he personally beheaded. I hope he was tortured and pray he gets an M16 round through his forehead.

have you ever heard of the 8th amendment?
it talks about no cruel or unusual punishments
people who support torture are no different from the 'terrorists' they torture

Yeah it is....because when you decapitate someone, you are not torturing them, you are killing them. Not pleasant, but not torture.
