| Message | I believe sleep depriviation (which might include loud music) and uncomfortable positions are acceptable, while injuries and beatings are not. Drugs that do not cause lasting harm may be very valuable in certain extreme circumstances where the population or national security might be at risk. |

| Message | True, perhaps we could agree to a position where torture is only used in extreme circumstances, and in the description make it clear what forms of 'torture' are viable, and which are not acceptable. |
| Date | 14:11:03, February 03, 2006 CET | From | Northern Light | To | Debating the Torture ban, 2179 |
| Message | Torture for us is the deliberate infliction of severe pain or suffering, both pysical and psycological, with the aim to obtain information. |
