While we're at it
One of the myriad problems with torture is it assumes guilt. The line of reasoning of torture requires that the person be guilty because they are being tortured. I mean our government wouldn't torture a non-terrorist, right? Right?.
Since everyone who is tortured is a terrorist then wouldn't everyone accused of being a rapist, murderer or child molester also require torture? Equally as bad as someone who kills innocent people is someone who rapes children. Even so, we have not devolved to the point where we torture those we accuse.
Well anyways not since the Salem witch trials.
In that age being called a witch necessitated torture, in this day the new term is "terrorist". "Terrorist", the magic term that eliminates the need from having to act as a noble people.
