CIA used mock executions etc.

That makes it ok for the US to use torture? Maybe you and everyone in the world should stop referring to the US as 'civilized' from now on.

Nice try at a deflection. You said that you don't think any other nation uses torture on the same scale as the US. That idea is patently false and the fact that you make it shows that you haven't researched this issue one damned bit but have grabbed onto it in order to further your constant demonization of America.


Ironically, you referred to the "scale" of US torture but never actually described the scale. I suspect you have no clue but have decided to just go on the premise of "America bad" as always.

Nice euphemism. But the CIA and several other branches of the US use torture and not just mental but also physical. They have used it and encouraged using it in other countries ever since the US was founded. Torture is as American as apple pie.

Not all torture is the same. Frankly, I have no problem with waterboarding, fake executions, etc. Let's just say it really doesn't bother me if a career terrorist suffers from PTSD.

I *DO* have a problem with torture that involves physical disfigurement, though. And there are 13 nations in the world that have recently engaged in those activities fairly openly (guess who's NOT on that list? The United States, shocking right?).

Sorry dude, but your arguments have failed miserably, mainly as a result of your clear bias. You're trying to sway people on the simplistic idea of "torture bad". It's a bit more complicated than that however.
