        @PaulBarasi depends on the definition of torture that applies there. Americans tend to see it quite relaxed. @BBCBreaking

        @MartinDomig @BBCBreaking Surely, people being tortured know it when they feel it?

        @PaulBarasi Sure. But americans argued f.i. that waterboarding is not indeed torture, just a somewhat unpleasant interrogation @BBCBreaking

        @MartinDomig Wondering if you would say, on the basis of what US officialdom may categorise waterboarding as, that it is acceptable to use?

        @PaulBarasi No. I think whoever says that should get a taste of their own medicine.

        U.N itself declared Manning's treatment at Quantico as torture. Ofcourse,U.S. refers to his treatment as "protection" #Snowden @BBCBreaking

        That @BBCBreaking headline reminds me of Tubbs&Edward being asked if theyve seen missing hiker in League of Gentlemen: "We didn't burn him!"
