We are talking about psychopaths who live in cultures where women are considered chattel and whipped to the point of screaming agony in a public square, homosexuals are hanged from cranes, honor killings and beheadings are par for the course and seriously agonizing torture is actually practiced.

I have posted about this before. The things being labeled as "torture" are not torture.
Does that mean I would want to have to endure them? No, of course not. But I don't want to ever serve time in jail either. I wouldn't want to be forced to go through Marine bootcamp either.
Hell, I'd rather not have to ever go to the dentist.

That being said, waterboarding is not torture. Unpleasant? Yes.

So what is torture?

Graphic: DO NOT VIEW IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH!
