There is already a thread about this somewhere. If you would volunteer to have something done to you, it probably isn’t torture. If you volunteer to do it twice so you can beat your best time, it certainly isn’t torture.

Yep. From experience, getting a pink belly is worse than water boarding.

I hear the Air Force is adding “pink belly” to the SERE training.

Yeah, if just one week goes by without the experience of drowning I feel like I miss something!

What if it isn’t something you volunteered for? It isn’t in a controlled setting. You have no safe word. You don’t know if/when they are going to stop. You are in a confused shocked state. You are scared for your life.

You have been imprisoned, isolated for who knows how long. You are weak and exhausted. You are starving and thirsty. You don’t know where you are, what day it is, what time it is. You have absolutely no desire to set a best time let alone beat it.

Is it torture then?

No. It’s just an unfortunate situation. Shouldn’t have gotten your ass caught.

Good. Thanks for clearing that up.

Would everybody be ok if Americans were water boarded

They do far worse things to us.

Better than mutilation and decapitation. Jesus man, do you have any concept of what the enemy is doing in this war?

I think any person who picks up a newspaper once a week knows that. How does that in any way justify our torture, however less harmful, of our enemies? Did I miss the memo where we decided to judge our values by comparison with those of Islamic nihilism? I thought moral relativism was a trait of the Left.

No.

When the Japanese did it to Americans you sentenced them to die.

No but there is an active program going on about hunting down and prosecuting Nazis for war crimes .

There is!

90 year olds that cannot be imprisoned or tried are a disappointment, aren´t they?

What torture are you talking about? The three AQ dickheads dunked under water years ago?

Are you an AQ spokesman? Why do you keep pretending we are torturing people?

If your head collides with one of my posts and it makes a hollow sound, is it necessarily my post that is too blame?
