lol know the wrong things? possibly? why? is it that they know when someone won't back down and that may make that person some kind of a real threat to whoever? what do you do about it? if it could be proved wrong they would not have to bother messing with it because it would be trivial to them I think?

like you, I might just ask what you are talking about? too much information against who or what or about what? that is where the kicker comes in isn't it?

Torture is only a means to extract information and/or the truth. It also serves as a form of punishment, as an example to others in that environment/situation. In actuality, it is a sick form of sadistic pleasure. For example, the Marquis de Sade, a French aristocrat and writer of philosophy-laden violent pornography. He was a philosopher of extreme freedom (or at least licentiousness), unrestrained by morality, religion or law, with the pursuit of personal pleasure being the highest principle. He wrote about the fine line between pain and pleasure during sexual interaction, basically achieved through various forms of physical and mental torture.
That’s why most people could not perform, partake or even standby and witness the torture of another human being. Yes even if that person being tortured was the worse case example of a sick demented individual who committed the most horrifying unspeakable acts/crimes towards others. If you were directly affected by this persons actions, and allowed to do anything you wanted to them, the best most could do is severely beat them. Even if you went as far as killing that person, it still wouldn’t be torture. That would be rage, uncontrollable rage. However, most people would stop before going to far, mostly due to your morals and social upbringing.
In closing, torture is an act of those who lack the means of obtaining that which they can not. Also, something that most may not realize is that when it comes to physical pain and injury, a person can tolerate more than they may know. Most injuries will heal and a person can overcome the end result of an injury. The worse and most damaging torture is the mental kind, or psychology. This is done by way of drugs, deception and manipulation. This form of torture is the most server as it stays with that person for the rest of there lives in the form of dreams, and overall view of life itself. In some cases, it results in ending up in a mental hospital. No matter which kind of torture or the reason for it, it is the one thing that prevents mankind from reaching the next level of our evolutionary destiny.

People have used torture for many different reasons the most popular is to gain information or to force someone to confess to something they do not believe in or with. Hey as a person with a degree in history God help me if our nation is ever taken over, me and everyone else who knows history or political science will be tortured and killed. The fact is many do not want anyone with education and knowledge of history or the political workings of nations to live. They see them as the leaders of rebellion and opposition. People are tortured for what they know and what they believe and what they are believed to know. Then usually killed after. Look at Pol Pot's Cambodia. He had a prison used to torture and kill political ravels and any who did not follow him or anyone suspected of not following his will. When he was finally pushed from power and his prison close there were only 6 people out of thousands who lived to tell what they had been through. It was and is such a tragic story about what Cambodians were faced to go through. You should watch the movie "The Killing Fields" it is a great movie and tells the story of what happened during Pol Pot's rule of Cambodia here is a link to the film and to a little info on Pol Pot.
