No, no, the United States would never torture anyone….
... At least not according to our definition of torture.
According to the B*sh junta and their slimy grand inquistor appointee, cruel, inhuman, and degrading tactics are not torture. So, waterboarding, anal rape with broomsticks, tossing people into freezers with no clothes on, electric shocks, and beating people to death is not torture according to the government of the United States.
I have to ask just what do they think is torture? Honest elections? The 60 vote to break a filibuster rule? Same-sex marriage?
