The question arrises as to what to do with them afterwards, you cant really release them otherwise they will tell all their friends what you've done. But you cant keep them forever, their family would know.
The entire agenda in which we now find our nations woefully entrenched was spelled out clearly by the PNAC more than a decade ago and yet Blair happily went along with the charade and mockery of international law regardless.
Their website has to be one of the most depressing set of documents ever set out in print.
Having ceded the right of way to the PNAC, however, it has become a matter of political expedience to avoid embarrassment or electoral isolation by just going along with the new status quo (regrdless of how prevalently the new US sanctioned moniker of "terrorist" is being used to assail, torture, or even kill off the legitimate political opponents of our numerous dictatorial "allies").
The whole WoT is merely the institutionalisation of practices we have long deemed reprehensible. In short, its a fraud.
If a captured terrorist in say, Pakistan was tortured into releasing the names and addresses of sleeper cells in this country, are you saying we shouldn't be allowed to act upon it?
Bollocks.
You'd be the first ones screaming for the Chief Constable's blood if we didn't act on it and the information turned out to be true.
I think that using information however it was gleaned is not necessarily in question. The authorities would check the hypothetical location regardless of where it came from and how.
I think what the question is more towards is where we go in the sense of torture as an interogation method, as I've said before most people will admit to anything given sufficient inducement. Where is the line drawn on where the information is ok and where it is not?
Ah yeah, good point...
But the U.K.s citizens and inhabitants enjoy a great deal of freedom, equal to or more than anywhere else in the world I'd go so far to say.
Having lived in various European countries I'd also say that we have the best and fairest police force, apart from Scandinavian countries which also have really good efficient and fair police.
From what I've heard, any country would be hard put to compete with scandinavian countries for anything. They've got great social policy.
people can be made to dissappear
Yeah they have high taxes and good social services. I went to Finland and the cops were brilliant, spoke English and Swedish as well as Finnish obviously and were just as friendly and helpful as British coppers.
On a slightly related note:
Can't say the same for Belgian or French police however. Was once in a Belgian Police station after my friend got mugged by a rather nasty Arab youth. The police caught him in the act, we all went to the police station, the policeman asks the youth his name to which he replies; "Mohammed", the copper laughs in face, slaps him and tells him he has a stupid name. Lovely.
So are you saying we should torture and then kill all terrorist suspects?
lol, classic. I'd have loved to see that acted out by someone with a dodgy french accent.
You ave a ztupeed name.
Sorry, inappropriate.
