No one is advocating the US employ techniques from removing fingernails, teeth, to using a power drill or burning ones body. Subjecting terrorists and others who posed a threat to the nation to simulated drowning (waterboarding) to get critical information, under medical supervision, is the ultimate mindfuck that has produced results (see O&#8217;Neill&#8217;s tweet again).<\/p>\n<p>McCain and company are conflating the torture he and people in third-world countries have been subjected to with EIT&#8217;s, they&#8217;re not the same and it&#8217;s irresponsible and dangerous to make that comparison.
