I said "nuts in a vise" you said " I consider it torture, as well. That's a given. But it was not torture to get a confession to a past crime but rather to get critical intel to obviate some future horrific act. I'm wondering if that distinction is meaningful. It seems to me that it might be. If you think it's not, I'd be interesting in knowing why. " You weren't talking about alcohol there. And the distinction is not meaningful to me, because the government always screws up. And I really don't want them to have the power to screw up torturing people. It's like giving the DMV that power. I don't THINK so.
