Half the problem here is defining what 'torture' is. Most western politicians seem to have a very low threshold but a number of the techniques mentioned in this report (and the UK Iraq enquiry) were done to me in training (and that was after woptb's 1975 Tokyo thing). Did I consider that I was being tortured? No. Do I think that some of those things have a place in prisoner handling? Yes. Are we very squeemish in the West nowadays? In my opinion, Yes.
Maybe I should contact antibritishhumanrightslawyers4u.com to see if I have a multimillion pound claim against the government (of 30 years ago)!!
