Do you mean the Japanese version, where part of the procedure is getting kicked in the stomach during it?

So the choking is ok, just not the kicking?

According to wackos, pealing someone's skin off is not torture because that skin will grow back. Why are so many arguing silly semantics?

Same question remains unanswered. Do interrogate them or just inflict pain? Why do those who love torture not answer that question? Why do they even love choking - as if that does anything useful?

Five plus years ago, a warning to all Cellar dwellers described how confrontational America had become. Widespread is hate, fear, and 'big dic' thinking promoted by Limbaugh, Fox News, etc. Europeans would have little appreciation for the hate routinely broadcast daily on radio and TV.

How many non-Americans in The Cellar did not know five plus years ago and now appreciate how extremist some Americans are? That is not a rhetorical question. How many outside America now understand why the United States did a Pearl Harbor to Iraq? And now understand the source of hate even expressed against the French, Turks, Germans, etc.

Its interpretation? No. A question that American extremists will not answer. Do we interrogate them or just want to implement painful revenge? Other than DanaC, I am shocked how few outside America endorse torture by their silence.
