Yes, Elenna, that was basically what I meant - not that Saruman was saying "don't touch them, period" esp. since in the books they don't mind knocking them around a bit, using the whip, etc. More like avoiding doing them any serious harm; to put it in Elizabethan terms, to use only "the gentler tortures."
