"So are you really sure you want to compare being kept in a cold room or fed low carb diets as torture?"

Are you so sure you want to dismiss waterboarding and other techniques as torture? Why are you so adamant about AlQuaeda's torture but so dismissive of US torture? Don't you, as an American who prides themselves on truth, clarity, transparency and the ultimate right of freedom and democracy want to know exactly what kinds of torture or non-torture the US, a country that consistantly claims the moral upper hand, engaged in?

I agree. Show the horrors of the world from ALL of the world. Totalitarian countries AS WELL as countries that claim democracy and the moral upper road.

Maybe they'll show the Israeli video of the IDF packing a house full of 130something people and then intentionally targeting it, as Amnesty International has reported? Or maybe they'll show the stoning of women by Orthodox Jews for wearing PANTS! Well. I guess we can't be too hopeful for truth on all sides of the picture.

Maybe they'll even show videos of all the torture rooms in China, or the rape rooms, or the prostitution houses for high officials, or how they execute prisoners and then harvest their organs. Then they can talk about why they're a most-favored-nation trading partner so we can understand better why we're not invading such a horrific country?
