let me ask you this, if you know that the person you have in custody knows where bin laden is and you know that for a fact do you get the information out of his ass or do you "respect him as a human" and let him fuck with you?

I think it really depends on your ideology. Me? I'd use every technique available short of ripping his fucking testicles off his body to get the information. Folks like Daisym, would serve him tea and crumpets and hope he eventually turned cooperative. I don't believe that waterboarding, forced standing, sleep deprivation, are torture - they are not even close to torture. Now, Ripping someones testicles off, pulling out their fingernails, electroshocking - those are all torture and I oppose those interrogation techniques.
