Should civilized nations use "Enhanced Interrogation" techni

[--Pete]

Hi,

In this case I think I would put more weight in the anecdotes of people who have experienced waterboarding as opposed to the anecdotes of the person who posits that their ability to hold their breath for 3 minutes at their leisure has any bearing on how they would react if they were to be put through that procedure.

OK, but consider the logic. Kandrathe claims that there are *some* people who can withstand torture. No number of examples of someone who cannot withstand torture (unless it is the whole population) is proof that he is wrong. One case that can withstand torture would be proof that he is right. Simple logic, and the difference between "for all" and "there exists".

However, I'll admit that I know of no such examples outside of literature and movies. :whistling:
