Then what a shitty way to over-generalise.

New poll:

Do you feel that redheads murder children?

X - Yes

... - No

I saw a news story once where some red-haired lady killed her own child. Now that I understand your logic I can confidently choose "Yes, I feel that redheads murder children" because obviously red-haired people DO murder children.

Oh wait, that would be stupid of me because obviously one minute, rogue exception to the rule doesn't prove - or even begin to support - a damn thing.

Remember, one asshole doesn't represent the country. Just because some jerk does something doesn't mean "the country" does it.

The government has already admited to being allowed to use torture, and have said it can be useful. And they are always trying to change the definition od torture. So even though they say they dont really torture anyone its just a word game to them, and its pretty easy to see through.

Neruo, those pictures don't prove much that anyone with a basic understanding of the psychology of prisoner/captive relationship doesn't already understand. It was absolutely inevitable. When you put under-educated nineteen-year-olds in charge of prisoners, this is what happens. Unfortunately, the complete lack of even the most basic knowledge of psychology and human nature by the people in charge is what led to that embarrassing display.

Those are ameteurs; what do you think happens when the pros get a hold of them? That's right, they don't let pictures get out.

Some of us don't think the price is worth it.
