:::Not a problem at all. Like I said, I heartily agree, I just wasn't sure if one of my numerous copy edits had done the same. I added a cite to the walling article, I think, but I think that's still good. "We need to distinguish between real [[torture]] and "things prohibited by anti-torture laws". I ''definitely'' have to agree on that one. Maybe I'm wrong in this, given that I see no problem with "enhanced interrogation" as I hear it called now (I mean come on, at summer camp we'd see who could hold our breath the longest in the deep end of the pool, and we never complained that it "simulated drowning") but I think that the distinction you mentioned probably gets washed away too much, wouldn't you say?

::::'''Note:''' So in hindsight, maybe "washed away" in reference to water boarding was a really awful, albeit accidental, pun... :P Maybe the distinctions get "glossed over?" Yeah something like that. Washed away: right meaning, but probably poor word choice. [[User:Tzoran|Tyler Zoran]] <sup>[[User talk:Tzoran|Talk]]</sup> 23:42, 30 July 2010 (EDT)

==Grammatical error==
I know this sounds obsessive, but the constant misuse of the word "cliché" on the internet drives me crazy. Cliché is not an adjective; it is a noun. "It sounds cliche but sue me" should be "It sounds clichéd but sue me". I don't know where this notion that cliche is an adjective came from, but it is now ''everywhere'' on the web. Pardon my lunacy. I'll go and lie down now. [[User:Jdixon|Jdixon]] 14:49, 02 August 2010 (BST)
