Torture has consistently been shown to be of no value whatsoever in getting to the truth of anything. Tortured people will admit to whatever they must in order to end the physical and mental pain. It's been proven over and over and over, and yet "civilized nations" like England and the US still do it. There's something sick and evil about that.

What do you expect? The British and their lackies have historically brutalized every single country they have ever occuppied. They are tyrants, bullies, and at the core, cowards.

and they wonder why people fought them and how young people become "terrorists"............... I wonder if we will read the same things about Palestine in 30 years?

Cannot believe that a place that could produce such an upstanding group of boys and girls like the "Royal Irish Regiment" could be guilty of producing such torturous practices, And if you don't believe me ask Patrick Cooper.
