I suppose you have a cite that the “enhanced interrogation techniques” were legally torture. I will await your cite.
[/QUOTE]

So, would it be your position that this administration has not supported interrogation techniques such as waterboarding? Or are you going to say that waterboarding is not torture?

I await your responsed with bated breath …

Waterboarding is not torture. Read John Yoo’s memo:

I would enthusiastically welcome an opportunity to change your mind on this. I suspect it would require only a single brief demonstration, but we can certainly do an “extended workshop” over a course of days or weeks, if necessary.

Yoo’s memo has been withdrawn by the DOJ. It is not relevant to a discussion of what legally constitutes torture.

Just because it was withdrawn for public relations reasons, does not mean the legal reasoning still does not stand. For the legal issues to be sorted out, we will need court decisions. Until then, it is all just opinion. Yoo’s opinion is as valid as any and more valid than most.

Does whether it’s legally defined as torture or not make a difference in your decision whether it’s moral or not?

I will not be responding to this thread anymore. I do not see the point of discussing the same issue in two threads at the same time. I will continue to post in the other thread. Sorry if this inconveniences anyone.
