I know, you can point to a specific action and cry torture. What you cannot do is the reverse - use the definition of torture to specify actions.You chose 2. I will use that definition and apply it to the list:4. Long Time Standing: This technique is described as among the most effective. Prisoners are forced to stand, handcuffed and with their feet shackled to an eye bolt in the floor for more than 40 hours. Exhaustion and sleep deprivation are effective in yielding confessions.5. The Cold Cell: The prisoner is left to stand naked in a cell kept near 50 degrees. Throughout the time in the cell the prisoner is doused with cold water.6. Water Boarding: The prisoner is bound to an inclined board, feet raised and head slightly below the feet. Cellophane is wrapped over the prisoner's face and water is poured over him. Unavoidably, the gag reflex kicks in and a terrifying fear of drowning leads to almost instant pleas to bring the treatment to a halt.By your application of the definition - Waterboarding is not Torture, The Cold Cell is not Torture, and the Long Time Standing is not Torture. I will let the troops know they can begin waterboarding once again.
