Uk Govt: What's Torture Again?

The Government has stooped to Nazi-like levels by failing to categorise "taking prisoners to the edge of drowning" as torture. Their answer (according to The Scotsman) was "it would depend on all the circumstances of the case".

This is such a slippery slope it's almost vertical. How can they not cetagorise it as torture? What is it - a mild discomfort? It makes me sick that in this day and age, our own Government can be so blase about torture, which is probably the lowest act any human being can do to another (yes, that does include so called "terrorism").

Maybe Blair and his cronies need to try it for themselves to see how bad it is?
