Wingnut wet dream

This makes us sick:

New details have emerged of how the growing number of prisoners on hunger strike at Guantánamo Bay are being tied down and force-fed through tubes pushed down their nasal passages into their stomachs to keep them alive.
They routinely experience bleeding and nausea, according to a sworn statement by the camp's chief doctor, seen by The Observer.
"Experience teaches us" that such symptoms must be expected "whenever nasogastric tubes are used," says the affidavit of Capt. John S. Edmondson, commander of Guantánamo's hospital. The procedure -- now standard practice at Guantánamo -- "requires that a foreign body be inserted into the body and, ideally, remain in it." But staff always use a lubricant, and "a nasogastric tube is never inserted and moved up and down. It is inserted down into the stomach slowly and directly, and it would be impossible to insert the wrong end of the tube." Medical personnel do not insert nasogastric tubes in a manner "intentionally designed to inflict pain."

Because absence of intent to inflict pain means that, however painful, this activity doesn't fall within W's definition of torture and therefore we don't torture. So what's the problem?
