Okay, let's define torture
1. Torture is when you're inflicting unbearable pain on bad guys, not good guys.

2. Torture is for use on terrorists only. Innocent people can't be tortured.

3. Torture is used only by bad people. Good people don't use torture.

4. The government of the United States of America does not torture people.

5. The term "torture" is to be defined by Dick Cheney and no one else.

6. Any low-level military person caught torturing anyone will pay the price.

7. Any BlackWater employee caught using torture cannot be prosecuted.

8. The terms "President of the United States" and "torture" may not be used in the same sentence.

9. Torture is used only by people who really don't give a shit about anyone.

10. Kiefer Sutherland can use torture to save the world -- or a lost duck.

1. Torture is an interrogation technique, which
if used on the person administering it, would result in a lawsuit.

4. The knowledge that someone like Inhofe could be elected to the U.S. senate
is pure torture to what we are supposed to be.
