This is how the Merriam Webster dictionary defines torture:

1a. anguish of body or mind agony b: something that causes agony or pain2: the infliction of intense pain (as from burning, crushing, or wounding) to punish, coerce, or afford sadistic pleasure3: distortion or overrefinement of a meaning or an argument.

Lieberman in his eminent lack of wisdom said yesterday,”It is not like putting burning coals on people’s bodies. The person is in no real danger. The impact is psychological.”

I wonder if someone tortured waterboarded Lieberman if he would feel the same way while he was suffocating.

Whether one believes in torture as a means of obtaining information or not, let’s call a spade a spade.

He then went on ot say,”Lieberman asserted that waterboarding isn’t torture because it leaves no “permanent damage.”

Could someone please send this man a dictionary!
