You seem to be confused about what torture is. You think that water boarding is technically torture but don't want to admit it is torture. You seem to want it in a separate category, because it will fit more comfortably in your head and I suspect, because you want to make use of it. But of course, if it was seen by you to be torture then your mind would get all squeamish about making use of it.

Go back and read post #27 that defines my view of what torture really is, in order to appease a bleeding heart I have broadened my views of what could be "technically" torture although in my eyes water boarding is a cake walk in comparison to the alternatives.
I don't freakin believe you're counting words, you have way to much time on your hands really :-)

There is an ambiguity in his mind. He thinks its a form of torture but wants to categorize it as something else, something acceptable, at least that is the implication. Let him state it again categorically. I want him to be sure in his mind and his replies what he is saying.
Is water boarding torture?
Is the use of water boarding acceptable?
I'm pretty sure the answer to both is yes, but I'm 'not putting words into his mouth'. Let him be clear of his own meaning.

You have an unending ability to gloss over what anyone in here says and attempt to make more of it than what it is. I said at the beginning I didn't see water boarding a true torture, I explained what comes to my mind when I think about torture, I stated that given the choice of what I would want done that water boarding to me or other citizens would be it, not the alternatives....I stated that I think done responsibly and when needed I accept water boarding. What else do you want?
