What makes it torture? If that is defined then it can be applied to every type of questioning. If a 16 year-old kid gets pulled over by the police for alleged car theft and they cuff him, read him his rights, put him in the back seat of a police vehicle, they start to ask him questions in a loud stern voice, and say he is going to be taken in and he pisses his pants and then faints he so scared and under so much stress, based on what Will wrote that would be torture. He clearly had physical manifestations of extreme stress and he was being coerced. Then if he had to sit in his piss... I don't think that would be torture.

That is why I went to the AG to get guidelines. But if Will actually gave guidlines, then would it be o.k. for you to use those against him?
