While I do have a friend who has infact undergone torture training (traing to whithstand torture not administer) I have not acctually had the first hand experience. Usually when someone uses the personal experience argument they are attemting to dodge the acctual argument, but I don;t want to jump to that conclusion to see if you adrees the meat of what I said later on...
Sometimes a person has first hand experience with a horrible event and that event makes a person biased in their viewpoint. It doesn't mean they are acting improperly or duplicitously but that their emotions are affecting their views more than they perhaps should.
