What part of redefining torture to equate sleep deprivation with severe
physical mutilation or injury is so hard for YOU to understand. Harsh
interrogation is NOT torture.

You're not too bright are you? Isn't it the opinion of the one who is being
interrogated? And in case you're not aware, sleep deprivation *can* have
severe, long term effects, some more effecting than your opinion of torture
is. Prolonged sleep deprivation can lead to death. How in your wildest
imagination can you dismiss that as not being a form of torture?

Ask the Iraqis. A clear majority hate the Americans and want them to
leave. They consider their life worse than before.

Not really.

And you'd know right? You've lived there and can testify first hand what
it's like? And don't even think of trying to say something like you've
fought there or have heard first hand experience, because even foreign
soldiers, assuming they get through the ordeal, have a safe, supporting
country to come home to after it's over.
