The torture debate

I'm tired of hearing about torture every day. My morning's bad enough as it is! But I will say, it's a good conversation for *the country* to have.

What bothers me about this, is that for so long these people were saying, well, what we're doing (waterboarding) is not torture. Or, maybe it's a little bit like torture (some people may say it's torture) but legally it's not *really* torture. It's bad but it's not that bad.

Here's the way I see it:

If it isn't really torture, if this isn't the kind of torture that one would do *anything* to get out of, then how is it effective????

If it is torture, if it's really torture, then isn't it wrong????
