What is the torture? Psychological abuse?
No more sleep deprevation, loud music etc.
The psyops at Waco were used on US citizens without much outrage. The military tanks were used to crunch of graves of family members to the horror of the people inside.
We can all agree that is was wrong to shoot federal agents (and it was wrong for the federal agents to kick the crap out of the media team they invited to cover their raid).
So what is “torture” and have we engaged in it?
There are some who say that the nations under influence of the Reagan administration used torture of the type like slicing a finger open and pulling the skin back and then eventually cutting off. Waterboarding is a world away from that sort of brutality.
And what is a license to kill? Do agents have this authority or should all hits be executions by the State after a long and public trial on US soil?
