Are we still ok with sending captives to be tortured in other countries?

Question

It seems 'we' well the US actually is still sending captives to either Jordan, for serious interrogation or Egypt if they are to disappear or worse.
Now that we Europeans have stopped this practice over their own soil (they were caught wern't they) they have switched to allied forces in countries where such treatment is not only common it is standard policy.....
If Europeans had not made a fuss they would still be being treated at least vaguely humanely in such places as Gitmo.
What do you think?

Answer 1

The US had secret prisons in eastern European countries. It's repugnant to torture prisoners of war or conscience because it only makes them more determined to withhold information & it inflames the passions of hate for one side against the other. In the US, Congress passed a bill forbidding the torture of prisoners. It's also against the Geneva Convention. Too bad a majority of other nations in the world don't abide by the same principles based on the Geneva Convention. In China, political prisoners are jailed or executed because of matters of conscience, not because of a violent crime; Saudi Arabia still has beheadings,as do most Islamic nations; we've seen what has happened to kindnapped victims in Iraq; Pakistan has a terrible human rights record as does North Korea, Iran, Russia, most nations in Africa, Indonesia, Cuba, and many more. Political dissidents should be considered POW's as well. Face it, the world is not a friendly place, especially if you are perceived an enemy due to politics, freedom of thought and expression, and in times of war.

Answer 2

Huh? someone genuinely pronounced that torture through technique of Vietnamese develop into once ok? Kinda demanding to imagine. perhaps once you recommended me who pronounced this, i'd take a seem at to grant an evidence for his reasoning, although otherwise i'm as baffled as you're.

Answer 3

If it is happening which i doubt, then i applaud it! Bugger the terrorists and humaneness and fair trials.
They made their choice, got caught and i hope they rot for the suffering torture and pain they have caused to their victims

That goes for that Australian traitor too David bloody Hicks, why the hell should we worry about what his mental health is like or whether he should be charged. He was fighting as a terrorist so let him take his punishment like anyone else.

Answer 4

A paranoid administration uses extreme measures to protect itself from perceived threats (delusional or not).

Answer 5

I think you have nothing going on in your life and need to get out of the rut that your are in and stop thinking that you know everything there is to know about this , especially since your not employed as a government official in any way. You can start by not believing every thing you read in papers and see on TV. The BS media is why people are getting so confused, media is the ones who really control your thoughts. Media has always and will always use propaganda , their own opinions, twist, and report little truth and lot of lies.

Answer 6

Where are they sending them from? If it is in war time and the motive is to get information that will keep our country safer I think yes. I also think that we my not want the blood on our soil (meteraphoricaly speaking) .

Answer 7

I`m OK with it. I couldn`t give a rat`s a.rse about them...

Answer 8

'We' (being the public) are not OK with it at all.

But when did they ever care what 'we' thought??

Answer 9

torture the **** out of them then feed them to badgers. its only fair.

Answer 10

that kind of thing will always take place. do not be naive.
