Re: That would not be torture, Jake . . .
Nor would I consider discomfort to be a form of torture. This is a manner in which to persuade cooperation. I have no problem with isolation, discomfort, or using chemicals to get viable information. I do, however, have a problem with O'Leary's suggested methods. It is not reliable, it is not civilized, and it is simply not required.
Personally, I wouldn't mind collecting all the data possible from those incarcerated, feeding them to the tribunal, and closing with mass executions, from hanging to lobotomy -- but that won’t happen either.
...Well, the hangings might.
