on the subject of abuse and torture here is haughty for you Douggie
In the UK as things stand at present. while it is an offence to commit
abuse ( particularly sexual abuse) it is apparently NOT an offence to
cover such offences up. slightly "off topic" but i think highly relevant
in the light of allegations made by a certain Collin Wallace.
I wonder if such abuse was used to destroy families of actual or would
be whistle blowers?
torture can take many forms including tactics designed to disrupt
peoples emotional stability and as a consequence render them as being
seen as unreliable in the eyes of the public.
as regards highly aggressive methods like water boarding, any
intelligence gained would be highly suspect on the grounds that such
information was gained under extreme duress, further one could argue
that the information given was more "what the nurturer wanted to hear"
as opposed to credible verifiable evidence.
Of course America are very good at using "black" places for their
nefarious activities. funny how the US keeps Cuba at arms length yes
when it came to setting up their torture centres Guantanamo bay was
used. so suddenly Cuba became the secret ally .
And of course Britain is just as culpable in its explicit aiding and
abetting of such measures.
