Read what I posted again. It wasn't advocating torture. It was pointing out that what's happening with prisoners is not typically torture.
It further points out that things that people think of as "torture" (Abu Gharib) are not occuring in the course of US sanctioned questioning. THey are occuring as the result of isolated incidents of sadistic behavior. And, further, that those incidents are being prosecuted under existing laws.
Quote: the Israelies (who deal with Terrorists in their cities nearly every day) don't even do it. they use psychological tactics over hoods and car batteries.
Again, you need to re-read and actually comprehend what you are responding to before you respond.
The piece I linked to argues that most of the "torture" being used during questioning of suspected terrorists is, in fact "psychological tactics."
As for your allegation that the U.S. is using "car batteries" to physically torture suspects, I have to admit that's a new one for me. Got a link? I'd like to read up on that.
