Nadine regarding your statement that: "The example of physical pressure that I used was sleep deprivation. Do you call that torture? The experts do not. Maybe I'm confused. Possibly you could describe to me what "interrogators" would be able to do to prevent someone from sleeping after days of sleep deprivation? Do they tap them gently and say "wake up you silly goose, you know you're not supposed to sleep?" I don't know about you, but it would take some pretty extreme measures to keep me awake after 2-3 days of no-sleep? I'd guess it would take pain, or music so loud that my brain rang with the horrible volume of the noise, or extreme cold, or something similarly unpleasant. I've also read that some of the "not considered by us to be torture" methods often leave people psychologically damaged for decades, and maybe for the rest of their lives. All this to put someone in a state where they'll tell you anything, true or not? But then better to kill 9 innocent men than to let one guilty go free, right? Not in my name. Ed
