"NO" to torture

Recommended Posts

So Trump's nominees disagree with him on torture:

Rushmc is on record as saying (several times) that waterboarding is not torture. It seems that Trump's nominees disagree with rushmc, too.

"Similarly, Mr. Sessions said that the law “makes it absolutely improper and illegal to use waterboarding or any other form of torture,”"

That's because intelligent people realize that torture isn't useful. It doesn't provide normally useful information.

From THAT article:

" the use of enhanced interrogation techniques [aka "TORTURE"] on him has put his confessions into question"

You did not take the time to actually read that Wiki page did you? To wrap it up it says that only false information was provided by him under torture.

Unless you view his confession as being the leader as valuable. Since he can no longer be tried I'm having a hard time seeing it that way.

The prevailing expert opinion is that people under torture will tell you exactly what you want to hear to make the torture stop.

Even RTI training is not designed to make it impossible to break the subject using torture. Its aim is merely to allow the serviceman to hold out for 24-36 hours before giving information with the hope that it will give command time to realise that something has gone wrong and change plans, RV's and timings. This is also why information in the military is distributed on a need to know basis - you can't tell what you don't know and torture will only elicit fictitious information.

Then that fucking cocksucker should've been killed already.

I'm so sick of this world and it's bullshit rationalizations. . .

I'm genuinely concerned you need to seek some help.

You know who this guy is, right? How quickly you forget.:S

Enough is enough. You people should be living in peace by now, but unfortunately evolution is too retarded to keep pace with a "civilized" society - you can't talk your way out of this mess. War is still the only universal conflict resolution for your species. The sooner you all realize that, the sooner you'll all be willing to sacrifice your own lives and effect change - once, for all. . .

He would have had a trial and he would be sitting on a death row or even have been executed by now. Except they fucked up and tortured him and now they can't.

Easy there fella, that's pretty much how Dylan Roof feels. Are you going to go out and assassinate some heathcare workers?

This is exactly correct - the information the average person knows becomes worthless very quickly as soon as there's even a scant reason to believe they've been captured. All conduct after capture training I've been party to is exactly as described above.

A person being subjected to any form of torture will tell you whatever it is they think you want to hear - and they'll usually have some basis for an educated guess at what that is. It will rarely be of any value - indeed even if they tell you something that was true, it's likely no longer of value.

Hmm, well, some of us have taken oaths a bit like that. If you're so keen to sacrifice, what have you done about it?

By the way, when you refer to "our species", I'm curious, what species are you?

How exactly does one go to war with an idea? I'll put on some popcorn for everyone else and give you some time to prepare, Professor.

You mean Wikipedia did not state where KSM gave detailed chalkboard intelligence briefings regarding past and future Al-Qaeda plans for terrorist attacks? Then their liberal bias is revealed once again.

You have a source for this? Other than a super secret buddy who also talks to imaginary friends?

Dude - it was YOU that provided the link to the article. When you discover that it disagrees with your prejudices, suddenly IT becomes biased.

Too funny.

In Ron's mind, for emotional reasons it's important for him to believe that torturing the enemy will work. And even if it does not work it's important that the enemy be tortured anyway. It's all about emotions, and what makes Ron feel good.
