Loading ...Tom DeLay’s definition of torture
November 3rd, 2006
“I don’t think water boarding is torture. My definition of torture is you physically harm someone by cutting them, by cutting their fingers, sticking things in their eyes, sticking their fingers in electric sockets. Water boarding is a frightening experience. But the person does not have physical damage.”

My definition of torture is extreme or repeated physical harm without a specific purpose, such as the extraction of information. If you are engaging in that activity to gain specific information, it is not torture.
