Bush and torture.

He was beaten, though not in a way to worsen his injuries. He was repeatedly threatened, and made certain of his impending death. His medication was withheld. He was bombarded with deafening, continuous noise and harsh lights. He was a man already diminished by serious injuries, more fully at the mercy of interrogators than an ordinary prisoner.
That's from page 115 of Suskind's book.
If that's not torture, what is, in your view?

Kid's stuff. I have done races that were more tortuous. These Islamofacists are a bunch of pansies.
