Good indications of Torture
This Torture Issue Isn’t Very Complicated
On a scale of importance from one to ten I think it’s fair to say that breathing rates about a 9.7 or 9.8. Maybe even a little higher. It’s up there with “having a beating heart” and “not being on fire.” When someone tries to get you to stop breathing, even temporarily, that’s a pretty good sign you’re being tortured. The other possibility is that they won’t stop so you can breathe and they don’t want you to answer any questions at all, in which case congratulations, you are just being murdered.
Some tips to educate US Attorney General Michael Mukasey on how to tell if something is torture or not. Very educational.
