I rather enjoyed them really. Bit primitive of the swarthy chap to poo his pants though.
It's not as if they are difficult to avoid, just don't sign up with the murderous medieval death cult.

Disturbing is watching people jumping from the top floors of the Towers. Those bastards deserved more.

Did they have to be so graphic and disturbing?
They had to, yes, because otherwise, some people might have complained the movie was glorifying torture oh wait didn't work.
So I guess they had to be graphic so that people didn't think they were justified in oh wait, never mind.
Seriously though, yes they had to. They were not meant to justify torture. They were meant to show the impact they had on everyone in the room, including the "interrogators".

That was the point of it, to be graphic and disturbing.

Is it bad that I found them to be erotic?

Torture is disturbing, even if you feel it's justified. I'm glad it was depicted this way in instead of some watered down pg-13 bs. Our country has done some messed up stuff in the name of safety and security, I don't think it should be glossed over.

So says the person with a screen name taken from an Axe Murderer! Is this an intentional irony?
You're taking a dump and they call GQ do you pinch it off or finish your business?

Not a valid counter-argument, unless you believe events of 2001 were motivated by those of 2003.
Live long and prosper.

what about half a million iraq civilians

It's about time someone hit back.
So you're saying those 3000 innocent people who died that day had it coming?

C) doesn't work period. That would be like saying to my 4 year old, "Hey if I let you gulp down this 2 liter of Mountain Dew will you go to sleep for daddy?"
What Ali Soufani is talking about is 'turning' someone. And futhermore he was talking of experience with turning lightweight wannabes. That is possible with a nare few and never possible with true believer extremists. Unfortunately the true believer extremists are the ones that were in deeper, were trusted and have all the good information.
As for 'torture' hmm if you wanna call it that go right ahead. We could do much worse to them. And I wouldnt bat an eyelash, not for people that want to commit genocide.

Can you prove that using C) wouldn't work? At least better then using torture did? Which you btw tried and can now look back on, as for example Ali Soufani, the former FBI agent did in his book Black Banners.

So what do you think would have been a proper response? Like a lot of people that spout on about this issue, you don't offer an alternative.
(Interrogative) In response to 9/11 should we:
A) do nothing, isolate ourselves and acquit all the axe murderers
B) just kill them all indiscriminately without any attempt to incorporate HUMINT(Human Intelligence)
C) incorporate HUMINT just ask them all nicely, no interrogations just friendly conversations
D)None of the above

Two wrongs do not a right make.

You know what I found graphic and disturbing? Hijacking planes and flying them into shy scrapers. So they had to suffer through a little water being poured over their face, loud music and their own piss and beep over it!
