Lally Singh writes "Posted yesterday on the National Security Archives was the NSA's "Transition 2001" report, prepared as an introductory report for President Bush (II)'s incoming administration. "The largest U.S. spy agency warned the incoming Bush administration in its 'Transition 2001' report that the Information Age required rethinking the policies and authorities that kept the National Security Agency in compliance with the Constitution's 4th Amendment prohibition on 'unreasonable searches and seizures' without warrant and 'probable cause,' according to an updated briefing book of declassified NSA documents posted today on the World Wide Web.""

So MILD torture is OK, while HARSH torture is not.

What is the line here?
Batons against your footsoles is ok? Sleep-depravation, is that ok? Heat/cold changes in your surroundings? What exactly do you find acceptable of torture methods? I just want to make sure I understand your concerns...
