  • The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan: The crime of torture is not about sadism. It is specifically about getting intelligence. Torture is not sadism; it can be done from misguided but not sadistic motives, i.e. the false belief that it's necessary to procure intelligence. No SERE training does this. No SERE-trained soldier is genuinely being coerced to give up information; they have the ability to end the session at any time; and the point is to help them resist such torture techniques. Those administering it are thereby not torturers - legally or morally. They are not trying to obliterate a human being's agency by subjecting him to this terrifying ordeal for 183 times; they are trying to train someone to retain their psychic integrity under this kind of pressure.
