Re: US air strike on Pakistani soldiers

Not at all BW, if it's not torture, then why are the people who were identified on the photographs convicted?

From wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse#cite_ref-52) :

"The U.S. Department of Defense removed seventeen soldiers and officers from duty, and seven soldiers were charged with dereliction of duty, maltreatment, aggravated assault and battery. Between May 2004 and September 2005, seven soldiers were convicted in courts martial, sentenced to federal prison time, and dishonorably discharged from service.

@Alan

The argument is what is considered torture at this point.  While all you said is true, it doesn't support any argument stating that the examples BW gave about stacking people on top of each other etc are torture.

You would go to jail for robbing a store - but you wouldn't call it torture.  There's more than one illegal thing in this world smile
Read what you wrote of WHY they were charged with anything.  It doesn't say torture in there.

hehe....  "I THINK" is the operative statement.......To think is to be subjective.  smile

I dont find that "Torture" at all.

So, going by the definition set forth in the UN Declaration of Human Rights, you wouldn't find it the least bit degrading to find yourself in a pile of naked people, stacked one on top of the other?  Is that what your saying?

Re: US air strike on Pakistani soldiers

Good point, time we repudiated the UN Convention since it covers people forced to wear jumpsuits and pick up trash along the highway
