It was here last night and now it's gone.

Seems the United States not only engages in Torture but in political censorship as well.

I have been happy to see some action is beginning to be taken in the US, but if not enough, the world court will get involved.

This is an international issue not a domestic US one.

There are several, I think. Here is one of them.

[Cid_Yama]

Nevermind.

[bluekachina]

No problem, It's already been taken care of.

After only two nights, she refused to take further part in the sessions and was reassigned. Then, on 15 September, she shot herself with her service rifle. A notebook recording her thoughts was found by her body. Its contents were blanked out in the subsequent official report.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hite evangelical Protestants were the religious group most likely to say torture is often or sometimes justified — more than 6 in 10 supported it. People unaffiliated with any religious organization were least likely to back it. Only 4 in 10 of them did.

Not even slightly surprising.

And let me be the first to say, "NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!"

[Jotapay]

Not that big of a spread there, really. Only 20%.

[Quinny]

Not that big a spread - 20% mmm

or....

White evangelical Protestants are 50% more likely to support torture.


Doesn't surprise me one bit - self righteous always tend towards blaming others.

Torture is a natural byproduct of human nature, to deny torture is to deny that which makes us human, and when you do that, the terrorist win.

Victims of religious brain-washing are probably more apt to accept the prevalent media brainwashing, which has said for years now, that torture is a great idea.
No surprise.
