More on the Bush Human Torture Act

Just so we all know what all this fighting is about, recall the August 2002 Bush administration memo outlining its torture policy. It argures that for an act to be considered torture it:

must be equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death.

So, under this definition, the following activities would not be considered torture:

- Cutting off fingers, legs, or other appendages
- Pulling off fingernails
- Rape of any kind
- Burning
- Scalping

Freedom is on the march.
