Communism killed more than 100 million people throughout the world.
Bravo to article.........and Pinters plays suck.
Gee ... I'm sorry, but he lost me right there.
First time I was tortured while reading an article about torture.
If West Europe did not colonize Africa, Arab, and Asia, things would have been much more better. In fact, how many Western Europe Conoloialists killed the people under its power. Even worse, Europe still does not make any apologize for the countries that they have colonized. Western Europe has the sin for giving birth to Communism, resulting the death of 100 million people. They are responisible for many more deaths. In fact, Western Europe still had attempt to support dictators such as Iraq under Saddam Hussein, and attempting to make weapons sales to China, ignoring the human rights being violated.
This, from Harvard? Be still, my hopeful heart!
What a brave fella!
"So stick to plays, Harold"
You ever sit through one of his plays? Talk about torture.
Point by point: waterboarding gives the illusion of drowning without the subject being in any actual danger. Is it torture? I suppose. But Saddam actually injured or killed people. No illusion about it. Who can't see the difference?
Secondly, al Qaeda saws off the heads of captives with a dull knife now. What reason do we have to believe that has anything to do with our conduct, and how exactly do you dial it up a notch from that?
Third, the Law Lords ruled that evidence obtained by torture would be inadmissable in court. Duh. Here too. Also evidence obtained by threats, via hypnosis and through polygraph exams. This is a non-story if ever there was one.
Fourth, torture is already forbidden uniquivocolly. As it stands now, we trust our servicemen to sort out what that means. McCain's bill wouldn't improve matters, just leave the lingering impression the military would go batdung crazy without Congressional telling them what's what. Scroo that.
I mean, it's nice to have this guy's support and all, but I hate it when our friends say stupid things in the course of coming to our defense. And, frankly, I'm getting VERY tired of having this conversation in the absence of a firm definition of terror. Nipping off fingers? Waterboarding? Sleep deprivation? Shouting? Putting panties on the head? What the hell are we talking about here?
Well, that and the fact that confessions are halakhically indadmissable as evidence.
Interesting, isn't it, that the leftwing "saint" Alan Dershowitz actually supports torture? Yeah, this is just what we on the pro-Israel side need!
Earth to Niall. American captives that fall into the hands of Al Qaeda are lucky if they are kept live long enough to be tortured.
His plays are horrible too!
No, its really not.
Am I the only one still capable of outrage over the obvious fact, the Nobel foundation has clearly been captured by hard core communists?
It should just be confiscated, if it cannot be purged and recaptured by civilized men.
And so is this statement true or false? Or is it both true and false?
Well worth a re read
May increase the risk of Americans being tortured?
They're beheaded! Whats a little torture after your heads been sawed off?
