Where fools rush in.. (Dem's & hearings)

Erm, how does that show that I'm ignorant on the subject, are you are just spouting meaningless drivel in an attempt to avoid making a point?

It shows you are ignorant on the subject as you are attempting to redefine reality to fit with your views .

I mean, isn't part of the debate that we disagree with what constitutes torture?

Exactly , torture is clearly defined but you wish to rewrite the definition , life doesn't work like that , the world doesn't bend to accomodate your particular view.

It is interesting how you're attempting to settle that difference by essentially simply stating that it is settled

It is settled , unless you can get the courts to turn around their decisions , get governments and militaries to rewrite their rules of law and ge the international bodies to redefine torture .
But there is no hope of that as your definition of torture is rubbish , after all under your definition hundreds of exceptionally nasty forms of torture which are rightly banned and condened would become just "torture".

Ah yes, the typical argument of "you are wrong therefore you are wrong" without ANY basis whatsoever.

Plenty of basis and very soild basis at that , whereas you have tried in addition to redefinition some crazy comparisons . Waterboarding isn't as bad as beheading . OK but who said beheading is OK . Theres a name for that isn't there , its called a formal fallacy , in this case a completely illogical and false arguement .

So judging by the Neo Nazi kids who did a mean thing to some Jewish folks, you believe they should be beaten to the very inch of their lives until the see the light of the law and grow up. Should not a terrorist that killed thousands receive the same or is he a misguided individual that needs counseling?

Wow , you know I mentioned reading earlier , no offence but how on earth did you get that from what was written in that particular topic ?
You managed to take someones arguement against something and portray it as a arguement for something and added a strawman for good measure.

No, my reasoning is this, waterboarding has been put on the table as the most evil practice on the earth as of late.

Your reasoning is once again completely flawed , you are acting on a false premise , in fact by doing so it is by definition not reasoning at all .
