ricgem2002 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 No it isn't. It's illegal, it's immoral and it's repellent to decent people everywhere. The notion of torturing the truth out of people is a myth perpetuated by the media. If we, a civilised nation condone or indulge in torture than we lower our standards to the level of the alleged terrorists we're detaining. :hihi::hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

depoix Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 If we don't have standards why are we bothering to fight? There's nothing worth defending.nothing worth defending ? how about freedom ,the choice of having a vote ,of education for all,of decent living wages ,of just bieng able to have a voice in how the country is run ,of bieng able to see children dance to music and all the other freedoms the west brings ? i think we have plenty worth defending,and i think those in afganistan deserve the very same freedom at any cost to a terrorist and their forces can you honestly sit there and say that if by causing one man enough pain you could save a school full of children,or a market full of people from bieng blown up ?one man compared to hundreds ? it doesnt even begin to make sense, there could be no question of what the end result would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Sleeps Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 nothing worth defending ? how about freedom A wonderful irony that you're willing to defend freedom by locking people up without trial and torturing them. Freedom has never sounded so woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azazel666 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I think that when the information that is need to be extracted could be used to prevent massive loss of life, whatever is necessary can be done. Suspects who have potential information cannot be allowed to sit there quiet in the knowledge they will still have a warm bed and a hot meal no matter what they do.... Of course fingernail pulling and other techniques are out....but Binyam Mohammed(sorry on spelling)certainly looks like he has come through his "torture" without any permanent harm.

All the bleeding heart beardies with their endless "human rights" twaddle would soon change their minds if it were they or their families at stake. Imo terrorists, by their very activities, forego the right to such niceties anyway. Let the liberal dimwits stick their heads back in the sand while the real world goes on around them.
