If you were innocently caught and sent to Gitmo, you probably would have been tortured.

The lads from manchester and Tipton were innocent. They were also tortured. The medical evidence for that torture is very hard to ignore.

Besides: there's no reason to turn to such accusations. We know that waterboarding (which puts a suspect into a state similar to that of drowning and induces a fear of death) has been used. That is torture. We know that prisoners have been sent elsewhere to be interrogated by states in which torture is legal. We know that other 'enhanced interrogation' techniques have been used. The question is not whether those techniques were used, but whether or not they constitute torture.

And you have absolutely been justifying their use.
