AL QAEDA TORTURE METHODS

[Jason-Sasha 1]

If they are known terrorists, or aide terrorists, and hold information that can save innocent lives.....I say do whatever it takes. By any means necessary. These people are worse than prisoners of war. At least war prisoners are simply fighting for their government, defending their homes and families, and abide by the rules of the Geneva Convention. Cowardly terrorists deserve none of the same respect or rights. None. They set out to murder innocent people to inflict fear and chaos. Waterboarding is too good for them.

I'm comfortable with it. It's way better than actually sticking a persons face in water.

[jundp 191]

I don't believe the US should be using torture. Period.

No problem with it at all.................why not lock them up in a pen full of pigs??

Torture is torture. No torture is OK. Human rights apply to everyone. You don't get to pick who "deserves" them or not. And frankly, no matter what terrible things our enemies do, the fewer terrible things we do, the less like them we are. We are better people for not engaging in those tactics. Bottom line, I don't ever want to pay for a government that tortures. How barbarian and disgusting.

Very well said !

All countries that are signatory to the United Nations Convention Against Torture have agreed they are subjected to the explicit prohibition on torture under any condition, and as such there exists no legal exception under this treaty. (The treaty states "No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture.") Additionally, signatories of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are bound to Article 5, which states, "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."

And it doesn't even work. You can get anyone to confess anything if you torture them badly enough.

against any form of torture..

Really? Can we make a Zionist out of you if we torture you badly enough?

Of course not. Everyone knows the only way to "make" Zionists is through deception, propaganda, and brainwashing.

Torture only gets people to "confess" to things. It doesn't make the things they confess actually true.

Completely agree.

I tend to agree with that but the US has always done it
