And, seeing as the methods used by the United States and other Coalition Forces are not "torture", and seeing as they work, I have no problem with them. If they were actually beating people, flogging or caning or causing lasting marks, then it would be a different situation, and many more people, including myself, would disapprove of it.
How do you know that the Coalition forces do not torture people the way you see it? We only can speculate as far as what the media tells us. For all we know, the Coalition forces can be using even worse types of torture than Hitler or Saddam did. Unless you work for the government or you are part of the Coalition forces, you can't really tell what types of tortures they are doing there.
