Dato che Rumsfeld rimanda al dizionario... il Cambridge dice testualmente:
torture, n., [U]
the act of causing great physical or mental pain in order to persuade someone to do something or to give information, or as an act of cruelty to a person or animal[...]
torture, v. [T]
1 to cause great physical or mental pain to someone intentionally:
"It is claimed that the officers tortured a man to death in 1983 in a city police station."
2 to cause mental pain: [R] "He tortured himself for years with the thought that he could have stopped the boy from running into the road."
A me basta, a Rummy no?
Questo parla solo per dare fastidio, non riesco a pensare a nessuno che potrebbe dire:" si, bè, è vero." Tranne quella giornalista italiana che vive negli Stati Uniti.
