Received. My position is actually fairly close to yours, as posted on that other thread. It's mass, indiscriminate use that sickens me. Although I DO find the idea of torture distasteful, I'm prepared to (possibly) swallow my morals in the case of high-profile proven terrorists. But it does have to be limited in some manner, and decided on a case-by-case basis. As a modus operandi of a democratic state for the treatment of ALL prisoners from a certain area, I hope you'll agree that it stinks.
