You have no relevant question unanswered.

You had the only appropriate answer from the beginning yet you continually asked for the same thing over and over again.
It was done for feeding purposes.

And from that they found that it had a secondary benefit.​


As you were already told; Irrelevant questions will not be answered.

Did you read your articles?

The first one says it hasn't been used since the 19th century abd that it's because it's humiliating and most enzymes aren't absorbed as she said

And here's one of many quotes "But doctors dispute that. They say the practice is almost never used, that it’s humiliating and not the best way to rehydrate a patient."

There are many more like that in your second article

LOL.

Classic.

That's what I'm going to tell the next cop that pulls me over for speeding: "But officer, I'm not speeding NOW"

:doh
 
Excon said:
Clearly you have trouble making the connections with what has been said.

1. Irrelevant to what I stated.
As I said; While not the norm or often done, it is a medical procedure.​

2. Wrong. As it was used. D'oh!
And I seriously doubt that they have access to all the records over time when it has been used.

Bottom line, it is as I stated: While not the norm or often done, it is a medical procedure.

I guess if they bled the prisoners that's cool too, because that was a common 18th century medical practice too..,.
 
Maybe they could have used leeches? ;)

Hardly the same since the supposed torture end some 6-7 years ago. No one's going to be prosecuted and it's no longer govt policy to conduct EIT. So what's there to argue over?

I am going to ask my elected representative to change the statute of limitations for speeding or other traffic infractions to 30 seconds.

Still nothing more to debate about it, the DoJ gave it the green light, that made it officially okay. You're just going to have to live with that.

Yes, I have always looked to the US Government for moral guidance. I guess you and I are the same that way, eh? :cool:

The thread is about prosecutions last time I looked.

And the moral guidance, ethical guidance, legal guidance as to when prosecutions are brought and when they are not.

The way I'm reading your posts, you support the practice of NOT prosecuting torturers. Am I misreading you?

I'm saying it's not going to happen, not now or later. The Justice Dept okayed it, which means they are covered. I'm not judging either way, just saying it ain't gonna happen.

Torture is a crime. If you already knew a person had committed it--i.e. was a "torturer"--what need would there be to prosecute him? No one has shown probable cause to believe that even one American ever engaged in torture. Dianne Feinstein's voluminous collection of fish wrap proves not one damn thing, except that she and people like her place their personal interests above their country's.

The sad fact is that far too much space is now being taken up in this once-great country by millions of half-educated people who resent it and are glad to carry water for its jihadist enemies. They serve as a fifth column for the likes of the vermin who just murdered a dozen innocent people in Paris and then shouted "Allahu akbar!" in the streets. Here's hoping the French authorities catch those bastards, force them to give up any confederates using whatever means necessary, and then try them for murder. Too bad they don't still have the guillotine.

Heck, I knew that already. We certainly agree that the federal government has covered up the crimes by refusing to even talk about them, much less prosecute them. Absolutely ain't gonna happen, any more than it is going to open the JFK files or MLK files. Got it!

Sorry, I thought we were talking what is right v. what is wrong. Responsible governance and all that sort of pap, you know?

Check your match--I think the flame (and light) have been smothered by lack of perspective.

Do you think if you break a leg in prison then the prison guards hold you down and amputate you, would that be torture or a standard medical procedure

What really pisses me off about these statists that claim conservative is that governmental atrocities are defended by them simply for the fact that it was under Bush. Could you imagine what would happen if Obama was caught torturing people?
