| Message | As happened last time, I oppose this bill. Define grave emergency. Show how torture would be useful when any answers are tainted by the persons stress and willingness to end the torture. |

| Message | No, you will excuse, in my opinion no one intends to ask random witness so that it more rapidly would recall:) The discussion deals with the tortures above the person, who purposely rejects to issue any concrete information. And I think, hardly in this situation it will be wanted to say to it untruth. |

| Message | What if a person is falsely accused of being involved in terrorist operations? What will they say to get the stones off their chest? Look at the Inquisition. |
