It's whether the use of that process is acceptable under some circumstances. Labels do not help in answering that question. Well, at least we've finally nailed down what it is that you're arguing about. Now, do you think it is, or isn't acceptable, in some situations? Torture that is. I assume that remark is made tongue in cheek. You assume incorrectly. I really would like to know your view. Cheers Martin |

Torture that is. I assume that remark is made tongue in cheek. You assume incorrectly. I really would like to know your view. My view is that labeling something "torture" is not going to advance the discussion. What specific interrogation method or methods do you wish to discuss? Now you truly are being obtuse. I'm not labeling anything, the question is quite clear, I'll repeat it: "Well, at least we've finally nailed down what it is that you're arguing about. Now, do you think it is, or isn't acceptable, in some situations? Torture that is. " That is reasonable clear prose, I am not asking you to define what is or is not torture. Cheers Martin |

I rather think that you regard circumlocution as one of your strong points. If you are going to refuse to answer simple questions, then having a meaningful discussion becomes impossible.

So you won't tell me when you stopped beating her? Still waiting for an answer to a simple question...... Do try and display a modicum of intellegence and refrain from reposting another puerile response. Cheers Martin |
