Torture Schmorture

New horrors have been disclosed but noone is covering it. The usual games "C.Y.A." and "plausible deniability" are playing out in the White House over recent U.S. torture. The morally superior GOP is having a hard time defining when tactics become torture, they should just define it via our soldiers. When does brutally coaxing info out of an American GI become torture?

- Choking a prisoner till he thinks he's going to die?
- Kicking them until they pass out?
- M.P.'s forcing you on the ground to jump on your back and legs?
- Severe skin burns that require three months' hospitalization and skin grafts?
- Beat ing someone with a chair until the chair breaks.
- Using a police stick to sodomize detainees®.
- Inserting a banana into a detainees anus.
- Covering detainees in feces, with their hands encased in sandbags.
- Forcing a Muslim to eat pork. Forcing liquor down his throat and telling him to thank Jesus that he's alive? (What a swell introduction to American Christianity)
- Maybe it's when 5 people you question don't live through your interrogation.

It's all grey to me. Than God I'm on the "virtuous" side.
Oh yeah, the asshole who approved this is going to be our D.A.
