Yeah, and that's why I stated it was done as an emergency medical with rehydration. Feinstein embellished there quite a bit.
The point is rectal FEEDING is torture/EIT or degradation or humiliation or punishment - take your pick. It's not a medical procedure or done for medical purposes. No solid food is digested in the large intestine.
While rectal hydration may be used in emergency situations, it’s not the first-, second- or even third-best option, said Allen Keller, director of the Bellevue/New York University Program for Survivors of Torture.....snip~
You left off the relevant portion of that quote: Where Rectal Feeding Came From and How the CIA Used It - Bloomberg
“This [rectal feeding]was done not solely for therapeutic reasons but as another form of abuse or humiliation,” Keller said. “Given the circumstances, this is sodomy with the intention of humiliation under the guise of medical treatment.”
If it was hydration, it was still almost surely done for degradation/humiliation, but still potentially (barely) plausible that the reason was medical purposes. Not so with solid food. It's simply NOT remotely plausible that's the procedure we would use if the person actually needed (for medical reasons) to be force fed.
