One question I have concerns this quote:





why is it torture when the GESTAPO does this, but when American interrogators use a similar technique, i.e. waterboarding, it is not torture?
Because when we do it, it is called "enhanced interrogation". When they do it it is called torture.

When they do it to us, it is called a warcrime

The term hubris comes to mind
