Yes I said you lied, which you did and I'm beginning to question whether or not you have the ability to distinguish for yourself in the midst of your constant dishonorable gambit of deceit.

I have presented my position on this numerous times, at length and with clarifications, and with out contradiction, so there should be no question about what that is. You, however, have tried numerous times to squeeze something out of me that doesn't exist and to misrepresent straight forward statements.

Here is a recent example of my clear position on the topic:



The definition of torture is fairly consistant across jurisdictions. The interpretation of whether an event or particular treatment is torture is subject to individual perspective and does not have a legal basis except when declared by a legal entity with the authority to establish such a determination.

Numerous efforts in the US have been exercised to deal with the waterboarding issue but none have been legally conclusive except the DOJ position.

In the US the DOJ has that authority and recently the new DOJ declared waterboarding to be illegal. However, during the Bush administration, the DOJ took the position that waterboarding fell under the guidelines of legal enhanced interrogation and was authorized for use but the DOJ did not consider waterboarding to qualify as an example of torture based on the existing definition of torture.
