This seems to be torture, and I cannot imagine there being an excuse for such treatment. Whether or not he could be characterized as a terrorist or insurgent strikes me as being immaterial to torture. I hope that we can end US torture policies. |
I think i saw that guy at a bad Religion concert. that must be a couple hundred bucks worth of piercings right there. Bet he got a great deal on them. Anyone who read the last thread knows that I am a bit of a decenter on this topic. I do believe most of the reasons inBOIL stated apply to my views on this. Accept for number 2. I think the government will label anyone they want a terrorist or such if suits their needs, innocent or not. Mostly though, I don't have a huge problem with it for the simple fact that I really just don't like people and as a rule, don't really give a damn what happens to them. They stay out of my way, I'll stay out of theirs. As a form of interrogation, yes, it's unreliable at best. but some people need to be made an example of. If they could ever get their hands on Bin Ladden, I would hope they would put up the torture channel and have him on 24/7 for at least 3 months. Don't ask him shit. Just work him over. That would make me a happy camper.
