Time for some perspective.
NOTE: Graphic links ahead
USA aren't the only ones guilty of torture or mistreatment of prisoners.
I don't know why it's suddenly an issue?
There are many countries guilty of this.
North Korea:

China:

England:

No doubt there is more.
So it's not the big bad USA, it's the big bad WORLD.

Thank you for that. I have stated this on pervious threads regarding this "torture". Untill the day when the world can get together and settle our differences peacefully, stuff like this will continue weather the US does it our not.

I'm not justifying torture.
I'm condemning it and pointing out it's not just America doing it.
It seems a lot of people (and not just on here) are using it as a political tool, which is totally for the wrong reasons.

I wonder why they dont use sodium penthanol anymore. Surely that is less stressful and gets the same result, or is it that the guys inflicting the torture want to put the prisoners through some nasty crap just for kicks or because they believe they deserve it?
Even the fluffy way of extracting information through drugs is considered torture.

"Truth drugs" are considered torture in black and white under international law. What the US has done is not so black-and-white. To use Truth Drugs would have been to say, "F!(# it all! We do what we want!" and to use "enhanced interrogation techniques" is to say, "Well, we can probably get away with this."
