Source: Find Rudy's position on torture. Did he actually say that campaigning was keeping him up, which was equivalent to forcing people to stay awake for days?
Campaigning is torture
Hebiko and Bertie B. Bitey interview Rudy
About our ferrets: I'm just totally making up ferret names at this point.

Help! I'm being water-boarded! Rudy won't define this as torture, even though we have executed people who have done it to Americans. Even a Fox News report, in an effort to show how gentle water-boarding is, could not take it for more than 5 seconds, once. Where is my towel?

Help! I'm being kept up for 10 hours a day! That is pretty bad for a ferret! Rudy thinks people being kept up for days is the same level as stress as his campaign. It is entirely possible that he is kept in a cell, in constant light and noise, for weeks. Now close my drawer!

Help! I was abducted and sent to a legal limbo! You are told everyone in Gitmo is the worst of the worst, but why were so many released once Congressional investigations get going?

I don't know. I'm looking forward to being a jackbooted thug. If could only figure out how to get them on.
