If The Constitution Doesn’t Explicitly Define That It Is Torture Then It Is Not Torture

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

Show me any where in the Constitution of the United States that defines explicit acts as torture. I am aware there are definitions of to what torture is, but that definition is open to definition for there is no altruistic standard to define thresholds of pain from positions of the body as torture. It is just not possible. That is why the constitution doesn’t define specific acts because these acts may be used in a soft rather than a hard way. And what is a hard and a soft way is defined by the President.
