However, I think I have brilliantly discovered an equally painful alternative method that can be used should bamboo not be readily available. Instead of putting bamboo under the fingernails, torturers should put acrylic on the finger nails, allow them to dry for a week or so and then have the prisoners rip them off without the aid of any useful tools.

Apparently, he said that they would torture people by tying someone down over a piece of bamboo, and letting the bamboo grow through them.

Torture: the next new American way - Opinion " But with all the hubbub surrounding the issue, you have to wonder: What's the big deal? Does it really matter whether the United States has the right to torture anyone and everyone it thinks might have a bomb or a mustache and turban? Perhaps if George Washington was still alive, he'd have something to say. Fortunately, he's not. It's no secret that right now America, the country ol' Wussy Washington managed not to run into the ground, is embroiled in a new kind of war. A war so different, it's changing the rules and finally eliminating the out-dated drudgery of "principles" and "moral standards." Instead of turning away from torture in disgust as some freedom-haters are prone to do, I think the American people should be giving torture the embrace it has long deserved.
