Does that include hurt feelings? Please define mental damage? Isn't imprisonment mental damage? Sleep deprivation is torture now too right? What about yelling at someone, or threatening them. Harsh words could cause mental damage.

Basically, claiming that waterboarding is torture is claiming that scaring the bejesus out of someone is torture.

Scaring the bejesus out of someone is torture?

Scaring someone too much is torture. They get really scared, and that is mental damage.

Don't frighten our enemies too much, that is torture. Making someone fear for their life is torture?

I really just do not get it.

Do you honestly believe that scaring someone is torture? Or because waterboarding is being discussed a lot lately and most people agree, you agree as well?

Well, if people want to think waterboarding is torture... Don't expect me to agree, EVER.
