US Torturing! Horrible stuff.

My Ideas of torture would include smearing them in menstrual discharge putting a gun to their heads & letting them know they won't die a "Clean Death" nor get their 40 friggin Virgins...

Islam states you must die a clean death to get to heaven...being covered in blood would violate that,menstrual discharge would strike horror into their hearts as the most foul fluid of the Un-clean woman...

I'd get em singing like fcuking canarys...

Are you being serious, or sarcastic? Did you actually read the article? I would hardly call a cold room and being forced to listen to the RHCPs torture. Maybe annoying, but hardly a physical violation.

If you are serious, then heres a tidbit for you. The US Armed forces subject their own personnel to far worse than that during SERE school, (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape). SERE was born of Viet Nam to prepare combat pilots for (among other things) the torture they would endure if they were shot down.

The US is the only country in the world that in any way shape or form even attempts to adhere to the Geneva convention and fair treatment of prisoners. The Viet Nam vets who post here could probably overwhelm you with stories of treatment of their buds who were POWs. IRAQI POWs, (the ones who werent beheaded with rusty saws) will tell you more wonderful stories.

Please, tell me you werent serious

Sarcasm kid.. sarcasm.

Is it better to be beheaded with a shiny new saw?

I suppose you had to go and have someone else constantly telling you what to do in order to live. Sorry, I don't.

Secondly, I leave things alone when I leave. If fights started in a hockey rink, outside the rink, they never happened. When I walked off the football field, everything out there stayed out there. When I walked off the diamond, it stayed there. Likewise with conversations. Keep it in one thread because you obviously feel this to be a personal attack on you.

Oh come off it Rob. You know that the Queen herself likes to torture people for the sheer pleasure of it... Her and Wingy do it together...

The US is the only perfect country in the world... The UK is like the US was in like the early 1400's... All barbarians...

Force them to talk w/ SoD until they kill themselves... Or SoD.








Or both!

What? No Middle East countries?

Yea... The beheadings are a prickly thorn in their compliance...

There's a bit of a differince between death by lethal injection for a murderer convicted by due process and a soldier captured & beheaded on live webcast simply because of who he is...

Sometimes you make sense...Then there's times like this when you sound more stupid than SOD...

Utter utter bollocks. You are aware of the fact that there are other countries in the world beside your own?

Yes. I am also aware, that those other countries dont value the comfort of criminals and enemy combatants at the expense of the safety and security of their own citizens.

I love the Brits. Do you think the SAS gives a crap if a muslim terrorist gets 3 culturally acceptable meals and five prayer sesions per day, plus a minimum of 8 hours of uninterupted rest and exercise periods, while waiting for the scum to crack and deliver the intel? NOT.

Do you think the Caribinari are worried about some punk gun runners right to legal representation? Not the Caribinari Ive worked with.

Even the french torture the crap out of whomever they feel the need to. The only difrerence with the french is that they deny it and make counter accusations to try and maintain their BS holier than thou facade while drawing attention away from their own actions.

What is it that these countries lack that the US doesnt? Humanity? Compassion? No, what they lack is uncontrolable hordes of unrealistic bored liberals who've never endured a day of hardship in their lives and are looking for a bandwagon to jump on just to occupy their time and make themselves feel better about their easy little lives. They have their liberals, they just dont let the liberals throw away reality so scumbags can have easier lives


America, once the home of the brave and land of the free is now AmericaInc.org. home of tax grubbing pussies and land of citizen internment, and we would do very well to take a few lessons/reminders from some other countries, (GB, Aus, Itl) in dealing with criminals

Besides your article I saw some coverage about the Guantanamo Prison on the Discovery channel I think it was, what concerns me is the detainees that haven't been really charged with a crime but have been held in prison limbo since shortly after 9/11.

With them being terrorist suspects, they're falling on uncharted ground as to their treatment and holding them for no claimed reason is a crime in my book.

In America you have to be charged with a crime to even be legally confined, and certain rights are allowed at that point, these detainees aren't allowed those rights, and America is in the wrong for that.

Terrorist attacks doesn't give us the right to throw everything this country is all about out the window, were talking people that have been basically illegally detained for 5 years.

I can agree with that point. We don't know what these people were caught doing. Were they in the midst of fighting the US and just captured? If so, do we return them home only so they go back to fighting us? There hasn't been a cease fire or treaty with anyone.. in that case, what happens to standard POWs of a war that never ends?

Put them back, they're likely to fight again or they might just go home. Break their morale, send them home..

Its tough what can be done with them..

Go back to WWII, just shoot the prisoner.

My grandfather told me they would be heading down the road and a Germany would jump out, shoot a soldier or use something to take out a tank. He'd immediately surrender. At first, they kept a few.

When they noticed this was a tatic, they just started shooting the guy and kept on moving.

My grandfather and another guy were sent in to check out a farm house. The German couple there were yelling at them, apparently threatened to kill them. So, pappy tossed a grenade into their horse stable and left. Harsh, but his point was made. He said he thought German soldiers were hiding in there.. he was wrong.

I wouldn't want to take prisoners over there.. these people thrive on death.. at least the ones fighting. Give it to them.

Here's what the pope said:

I think comparing the pope to Hitler was a bit harsh ... 8O
