"Torturing people to death"
Back when all the pictures of Abu Ghraib surfaced there were some of dead bodies that had been beaten up badly. I call that "torturing to death" If you would rather call it "beating to death" then that is an OK description too I suppose, but I think the distinction would be lost on the dead guy.
I dont want to get into an argument about what torture is. If you are one of those who says in effect "It isnt torture unless we legally define it as torture" then you deserve to be waterboarded until you change your mind. Nobody else in the world has any doubt about it, including the USA until John Yoo wrote his opinion to justify what the Bush administration wanted to do. We know that because we used to prosecute people as war criminals for waterboarding US soldiers. Either we were wrong to do that after WW2 or we are hypocrites now. You cant have it both ways.
