Sleep deprivation, forced standing, painful stress positions or even water boarding is not equal nor comparable to actual torture. |

Birthing and caring for a child includes various forms of torture, including sleep deprivation, forced standing, and painful stress positions.

My International Security Professor used the exact same analogy. "I sometimes put my daughter to bed early, is that torture?" My Response is that 30 min of "sleep deprivation" will not produce the results in order to get the information you need to from the detainee. It will take, border-line, changing the circadian rhythm to put them in a non-prolonged aggressive state. The fact is what you do to your child in the caring process is not what you are going to be doing to a detainee in the torturing process. |

The Geneva Convention was about western mannerisms in war. Did the rest of the world sign on or did we assume superiority as white folk and force our rules on their play grounds? You deal with the academic classroom of warfare. Some of us just deal with warfare. While you shed a crocodile tear over a lack of sleep our enemies concern themselves how best to kill another American with the biggest splash of media coverage so that people such as yourself can have a bit of drama. No uniforms. No nation of origin. No responsibility to western codes of war. Just a thirst to murder in the name of God with a distracting earthly justification to fool the ignorant. I could care less if our enemy has a rough time going to sleep. ...but I bet he has a Qu'ran. For a bunch of savage torturers, your protectors sure do care about their enemy's religious rights. |
