THE OFTEN ASKED QUESTION IS UPON US NOW.

TO TORTURE OR NOT ?

THE OFTEN ASKED QUESTION IS UPON US.


If you have prisoners who know the details of an upcoming suicide bomber, who will slaughter innocent civilians, do you torture them to get the information on where the bomber is?

In most states your screams would be heard even before you go to the torture chamber.

Are we any different?

We hope so.

We may have a government, led by a war criminal, which has slaughtered 100,000 innocent people in Iraq but the British people would not stand for torture.

We are not like that.

The only Britons who would support torture are the people who get their ideas from of Goebbels Murdoch who supports torture of prisoners in Israel and China.

Torture today does not mean the old-fashioned rack or hot irons or even electric shock.

Torture today may include noise, heat and light torture.

These are more debilitating than crude physical force and beatings.

We must hope they are not being used.

If they are the we have become like Phoney…a low-life scum
