Does the U.S Torture?

Question

Not by words but... you know... in a brutal way with tools....

I saw in "Lost" that the U.S. Soldiers made the Iraqi torture the Iraqi with tools.
I wonder if this is true? Is George Bush behind this? If he is, then I ABSOLUTELY CANT WAIT TILL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS '08!! RON PAUL for '08!

Answer 1

Yeah we do, and its disgusting

Answer 2

I think the Iraqi don't need to be shown how to torture anyone- Does the name Nicolas Berg ring any bells?

Odd- Americans are the ones saving those savages from their neighbors and the dictator that poisoned them with chemical weapons and then buried them in mass graves.
Saddam was found guilty of and executed for war crimes and crimes against humanity (guess what he was an Iraqi):

But in case you still have questions about who tortures who- let me give you 2 words to research Al Qaeda

So, you know what- If it takes playing hard ball with sickos to catch more sickos- go for it.
The enemy in Iraq has no intention of honoring any Geneva convention or exercising any sense of common decency.
Should we behave better- sure we do
When was the last time you saw an American soldier behead anyone and video tape it or fly a commercial airplane into a building holding thousands of people.
Maybe you forgot the 3000 people that died on 9/11 or the thousands injured;
let me remind you:

Tell the victims of that attack that image and playing pretty is more important than catching the sickos that destroyed their lives.

Answer 3

Of course. Torture goes on in the GTMO Bay camp, in Abu Graib and other Iraqi prisons. This I now goes on today. In the recent past, there were tortures in prisons in NATO occupied Kosovo Metohija, under the supervision of the current foreign minister of France, whose place is in jail of on the rope, as a war criminal. Also in the Dretelj prison camp, supervised by Bosnian Croats (and Muslims in 1992), there were sadists from other countries, including a foreign journalist named "Joe", who used to rape women prisoners.

Answer 4

If wearing panties on the prisoners heads and human pyramids at Abu Ghraib or waterboarding is considered "torture" then it is a mild form of torture compared to what is used elsewhere. Now Saddam Hussein and his two crazy sons knew how to administer torture:

How about how Saddam exterminated those he hated most?
The torture lasted about 10 seconds and then it was over because you were dead.

If Americans are so against torture, why is 24 and Jack Bauer so popular?

Answer 5

Ya. I'm sure it does.

But think of it this way:

If millions of people are under threat of a massive terrorist attack...let's say all of the millions will be eliminated, would torturing (not killing) be acceptable?

I believe that torture is cruel, but under certain circumstances, I'd want the words out for the sake of my family and all those I love.

Answer 6

Yes they do, didnt you see the news stories about Abhu Graib, waterboarding and Gitmo? The US troops in Iraq regularly torture Iraqis inside those steel ISO containers, you see at the ports and train stations. Under Clinton the US had a thing called rendition, this is where foriegn troublemakers, outlaws and ratbags were flown back to the USA to face trial. Under Bush it has been turned into CIA flights in and out of America to any one of 29 known countries where people are tortured and or killed. Under the patriot act even US citizens and political dissenters are eligible for extraordinary rendition.

Answer 7

It is not U S policy to do this I'm sure there are some who step over the line Too the joy of many here Who love to portray America as an evil country Son you live in the best country in this world We can't count the nations and people we have helped We have many people,for their own sick reason who would love too see the downfall of our great country

Answer 8

Every president since Washington has and every one after Jr. will do it too. It is a fact of life.

Answer 9

Understand this :::: there are untold millions of muslims on this planet who pray for the total destruction of the United States of America. Maybe you missed it, but on 9/11 TV news showed muslims laughing, singing and dancing in the streets of several middle eastern capitals after 3,000 innocent men, women and children were slaughtered by their brethren

Understand this :::: muslim subhumans believe that they're blessed by God if they strap twenty pounds of high explosives to themselves, walk into a restaurant, church or hospital and detonate it; muslim subhumans believe that by sawing peoples' heads off with a butcher knife they've bought themselves a place in paradise :::: muslim subhumans believe that to blow up an airliner filled with innocent people is to perform an act of high religious significance

Understand this :::: if a single innocent life MIGHT be saved by torturing a muslim suspected of terrorist activities or of supporting terrorist activities then we're merely fighting fire with fire.

Understand this :::: the United States of America is engaged in a WAR the likes of which we've never seen before. Humane and civilized responses to our subhuman enemies assures one thing and one thing only --- WE'LL LOSE!

Answer 10

Probably, every government does. Black sites and all. And the CIA recently admitted it, though obviously not on its own people.

Answer 11

Sadly, it is true. Bush is the first US pres to allow torture like waterboarding. The victim nearly drowns. It is disgusting.
