1. And you know they only came up with "falsely" because...
they couldn't go with the more-grammatically precise "wrongly," which would have been even more nauseating.

6. Well said. And I would like to add....
In any Freeper's mind (whatever THAT means) "falsely" will be equate to "false" and "none" as in "no torture".

OMG, I'm beginning to understand how they think.... I need a brain colonic.

3. It could be a way to wake up those who fall for the
"if a bomb was about to go off and you could save a gazillion lives by torturing the location out of someone blah, blah, blah" line by reminding them that torture does not produce accurate information )especially when used on someone who doesn't know anything.)

Seeing as it doesn't seem possible to convince some people that torture is always wrong.

4. as opposed to "truly tortured" I guess?
false implies it wasn't real torture.

7. The framing is itself a war crime.
The enablers must be held accountable as well.
