Ohhh I'm not to sure about that Lucern, Madame du lash got me to admit I was a very, very naughty boy in record time! But I digress


How do you define torture? Physical pain? Mental torture? Would being kept in jail without trial for over 4 years for interrogation purposes be classed as torture (like the USA does to Australians) or would a week’s physical torture be less cruel in the long run?

If you send you’re prisoners overseas to be tortured, standard USA procedure according to C.Rice, could the evidence still be used because the torture happened elsewhere?
