Torture showdown:

Should be an interesting subject.

Am curious how close they will come to an eye for an eye concept.

Hospitals or doctors practice physical torture .

Should we allow military interrogators go that far?

I'm thinking of the cancer treatments that Lance Armstong was subject to and wrote about in a book.

Another good one is a radiography of the kidneys, where they inject 4 ounces of radioactive iodine solution in an arm which sets your veins on fire, and then push heavy weights on the abdomen to flatten the kidneys.

That is super pain.

It would be nice to hear an assortment of opinions from thread members on how far the military should be allowed to go in interrogation.

But in each case it would depend upon the "crime" or circumstances under which the prisoner was captured, and also upon how important his potential disclosures could be.

If he had been captured while assembling a neutron bomb,
should we follow the rules of 'no torture'?

What if we had captured Oday Hussein ? No torture?
