    We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham Lincoln

          Come on. Not letting you sleep is torture? Scaring you with dogs is torture? It's not very nice, but I don't think you can call it torture.
          Okay...

          Why is torture used?
          -To get information.
          Then why are we using things that aren't torture?
          -Uh...
          meet the new boss, same as the old boss

            And someone caught strapping a bomb to his or chest is not?

            Come on now, how partisan do you wish to be simply because a man named Bush sits in the office?

            You would wish defeat because of a leader you dislike?

United Kingdom. If police are still doing them stuff in London, Paris, and Berlin, they are violating their law.
              Too bad some of those things are done on a daily basis to prisoners in domestic criminal cases.

              Is an interrogation that runs for 36 or 48 hours thorough, or sleep deprivation?

              Can you show me cases where such interogations are tossed? I have heard of them frequently, in convictions that were not overturned. I thought they were not entirely fair, and I would like to read of instances where they were tossed.

                    Other people break sane laws in that time honored tradition revered here on Apolyton known as civil disobediance, I will apply the concept here to our valiant intel guys and troops risking jail and estrangement for your own good.
                    Holy ****, you're crazier than a loon. If folks like you are running the intel services, no wonder we have hooded people with electrodes attached to them. This is the rationale of evil men to commit evil acts.

                      Work on your cause and effect skills genius.
                      The point is it shouldn't matter WTF is president. If your forces are doing the right thing, they are the right thing under Clinton, Gore, Bush, Kerry, or anyone else.

                      Can you see this in anything other than an anti-Bush light? That is what I was asking.

                              You think things would be much different in that order under a Democrat? On what basis?

                                In any case it is well known a document was circulating the Executive Branch trying to find out what the most torture we could do that was also marketable/acceptable to the American public.

                                The very fact that the Executive Branch (i.e. THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION) has to ask the very question of what is and is not "acceptable" forms of coercion, is the most troubling thing of all.
                                Under FDR you rounded up 100s of thousands of Japanese Americans. Was FDR a total ****? Would his Republican opponent have done better?
