Of Course Torture Works

Silly rabbit; treating your captive as a guest may be more effective at actually getting, you know, intelligence, but that hardly means that it works as effectively at torture. You see, the misconception here is that torture is designed to elicit information. In fact, torture (in the contemporary American context) is designed to demonstrate masculinity and Will; to sort of those who are "serious" about protecting America from those who aren't. Simply demonstrating that torture doesn't produce good intelligence can't reduce its political attractiveness, because after all eliciting information was never the point.

Torture: It sorts the real heroes from the girly men like nothing else????????????????????????????????

Well Ms. Margaret :tiphat::clap::banana::trp:

It has been contageous for generations in the US administration the marijuana smoking and inhaling the smoke. Obviously to be able to stand the crap they provide for the entire population. "We will hunt them down and bring them to justice...............Right!!...............When?

Look at this nutty gang below that you posted yourself. What sort of jerks on The HILL would present themselves and be photographed like this if not having smoked marijuana - and having inhaled it:

Only look at the quale hunter Dickie Cheney number two from the left, that´s what he means about America, not only one finger for "screw you" but all four, thankx to marijuana inhaled - Oops, caught red handed Dickie. Wonder though, if the earrings of Ms. Condi Rice, would look better on her, or the compulsive liar? But since he has no integrity at all anyways. Kind of cute!!

Apart from politics, is there any other thing you think about Intet??
