Reply #10: What has become of us? [View All]

"We further conclude that certain acts may be cruel, inhuman or degrading, but still not produce pain and suffering of the requisite intensity to fall within Section 2340A’s proscription against torture."

Hey what was the name of the law again?
Oh, I have it here:

Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, and Degrading Treatment or Punishment as implemented by Sections 2340-2340A of Title 18 of the U.S. Code

So, who determines what is painful, cruel, inhuman, or degrading? Is there a Pain-O-Meter? Do the prisoners get to use code words like "Ouch" or "Please Stop" when it has gone too far?

This is the worst logic that I have ever seen.

Why do we even have laws against this kind of stuff?

Why are so many Americans being kidnapped around the world again? Its gotta be the CLENIS.
