I mean, if it's so easy to withstand you're welcome to have someone try it on you. As far as chopping off hands or feet, I'm not going to suggest that it is happening. Although now there's nothing to stop interrogators from trying it out (depending on how literally they interpret that can't kill organs clause). They can't chop off heads legally because that would be murder. And willille: why is it only Muslims who would read my post and think that? This law is designed in theory for all terrorists, not just the Arab or Muslim ones. willille: No, waterboarding is definitely included in the definition of “torture”.

You have no idea what torture really is. When you post absurd things such as this and a Muslim reads your post he thinks they are cutting off heads and hands and such. You need to be careful of the context. Or are you suggesting we do cut off hand, feet or heads Trust me. You have no idea what torture really is.
