Jaffer's point at 35:22 is referring to Yoo's memo defining torture as intense level of pain associated with: "...death, organ failure, or serious impairment of body functions". That phrase originally came from the Medicare+Choice Benefits and Beneficiary Protections statute. - So, Yoo's memo defines torture with verbage from a health care statute, but doesn't include opinions directly on point? - Yoo should be in jail for war crimes, but he still teaches law for UC Berkeley.

When John Yoo said he couldn't find any precedent for waterboarding prisoners, he was either grossly incompetent or lying. - For example, in 1983 Texas Sheriff James Parker was charged, along with three of his deputies, for handcuffing prisoners to chairs, placing towels over their faces, and pouring water on the cloth until they gave what the officers considered to be confessions. The sheriff and his deputies were all convicted and sentenced to four years in prison.

In the war crimes tribunals after World War II, the issue of waterboarding was sometimes raised. In 1947, the U.S. charged a Japanese officer, Yukio Asano, with war crimes for waterboarding a U.S. civilian. Asano was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor.

On Jan. 21, 1968, The Washington Post ran a front-page photo of a U.S. soldier supervising the waterboarding of a captured North Vietnamese soldier. The caption said the technique induced "a flooding sense of suffocation and drowning, meant to make him talk." The picture led to an Army investigation and, two months later, the court martial of the soldier.

Eureka!. I finally discovered a way to fell asleep. I feel this video would definitely do!.
The first speaker equal dopamine, the second speaker, without a doubt; Valerian root.
However, the data is ok, but the speech of both of these two speakers (specifically their tone of voice of both) make a perfect combination for me to go to sleep, and perhaps; A good night.
