What is your position is on the use of torture on prisoners 'suspected' of crime. (esp US use of torture on detainees in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay) and why?

I thought that from a logical perspective, it is justfied to some extent because it is the only way to get information fast; however, I also thought that it isn't justified because we will not (and perhaps never?) know whether or not the information forced out of the prisoners (through the use of torture) is reliable or not.

From an ethical perspective, I thought that torturing suspected prisoners can be justified to some extent because the prisoner may be withholding information that may SAVE lives (esp. American lives). However, I also thought that it isn't ethical to torture suspected detainees because it does violate the human rights of the prisoner (and the treaties of the Geneva Convention).

In a situation where a service is being provided is it true that if the service cannot be provided because of problems at the providers end they must provide an equivalent service or a refund? If so what laws say this(references to UK laws only)?

" A former Russian spy who once lived in Toronto under a false name, found love and rejected her roots, is suing Ottawa for refusing to let her return here as a landed immigrant, said reports."

So's not to offend those who can't stand cut and paste, I'll just add the link, but do you see any reason at all why the Canadian government should grant her request?

1. 8:45 am is too early for us to be up.

2. We are always late, we would have missed all 4 flights.

3. Pretty people on the plane distract us.

4. We would talk loudly and bring attention to ourselves.

5. With food and drinks on the plane, we would forget why we're there.

6. We talk with our hands, therefore we would have to put our weapons down.

7. We would ALL want to fly the plane.

8. We would argue and start a fight in the plane.

9. We can't keep a secret, we would have told everyone before doing it.

AND MY FAVORITE.....

Do Foley and Lewinsky really matter to anyone but independents. The Dems will always vote blindly Democrat and the Repubs will do the same with their party. If you are a Dem and you don't like what Clinton did, you will just vote for a different Dem and that's what the Repubs upset over the Foley incident will do.

Just wondering? I have a decade of experience, working in major U.S. cities, as well as work with a federal agency, and will have an MBA as well - I think living abroad would be a great experience for my family - are their recruitment efforts for non-nationals from outside the EU?
