Reply #18: Being ex military it boils down to this..... [View All]

do unto others as you would have them do to you. It is morally wrong!

I would like to know if I were captured-I would not be tortured for someone's sick amusement. We really have stepped on the slippery slopes on this on and no telling how far we will drop.

The info you get by torture is worthless. You say anything to stop the pain. Just because W has S&M tendencies and Dick was paranoid-neither of these idiots were in the military and have no concept what this can lead to.

I was in a PSYOP Unit and would occasionally help with interrogations. They could get intense at times, but we always got our info WITHOUT torture and got it in a timely manner. We honoured the terms of the Geneva Convention.

I fear for the safety of our soldiers taken as POW's in the future that are tortured short of organ failure. How could families cope with knowing their husband or wife could suffer day after day of pain and deprivation. Might as well pray for a painless death on the battlefield.
