U.S. revises its definition of torture !!!!
 

:eek7

???????????????

I thought CNN was just a propaganda machine backing the lying government and brainwashing America?

LOL....

No, that is FOX...

"The White House insisted on Friday that the United States has operated under the spirit of the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit violence, torture and humiliating treatment."

hmmm.. I wonder how can ppl lie so much without feeling bad about all the rest of the world laughing about their comments..

I don't think there;s even one person who thinks that during the time in iraq there's fair treatment to the prisoners!

I am willing to bet the run of the mill average prisoner is getting everything allowed under the Geneva Convention. I have a little problem with flying suspects out of the country to countries that use harsh interrogation methods outlawed in the United States...

While all Western and plenty other countries actually raised their hands to sign a Human Rights Treaty and this has been in effect for a long time, the US considered this a good thing, but still have not signed or can claim compliance.

BTW.. This has nothing to do with wars and bullshit - they can't even sign and offer their own citizens the basic human rights afforded under the Treaty which is operating in most other countries.

A definition of torture?? Well, yes, folks do like to change definitions of anything when it suits them. Like kids with toys.

BTW... with most soldiers, they do have common decency even when doing some "policing the world" bs and are fair. However, that has nothing to do with the US govt claiming to uphold the terms of the Geneva convention - they have no clue what any convention is, - unless it suited them.

How can any nation make honorable claims, yet still deploy napam bombs (which are on the international banned list), on people? It is little surprise and dissappointing the US has reached this low level on so many issues and also little surprise the US govt is despised by almost all others. It does the US no credit.

i was watching some black guy on CNN

he was saying

this is The War on Terror
not the country club on terror


these people have already killed over 1200 U.S Soldiers

if they need to toture them to get information so be it

What do you suggest then?
What method should we use with beheading crazies?

is there anything else that we can talk about besides bashing the U.S. like other countries havent fucked up and done horrible thing

hyper:

Who invaded Iraq under false claims?

Who now occupies Iraq?

Who killed FAR more (than 1200) Iraqi people, most of whom were innocent, and contaminated that country with depleted uranium which will kill FAR more Iraqi people thru illness/malformation over the next 50 years than any numbers killed during this "war"?

It is dissapointing to see the last statement - "if they need torture.." You have just disqualified yourself of any cred which means you are no better than the extremist "terrorist" element. You have let em beat you...

Doesn't surprise me.

liberal trash get their ammo where they can. :1orglaugh

By saying "it's justified because we're at war", then you've found a way to justify uncivility. After that, it becomes easy to justify it in the future. Suppose you are arrested for "suspicious activities linked with terrorism"? Is torture justified then? Why not?

BTW, they may have killed 1,200 soldiers, but we've killed near 100,000 civilians and "terrorists". No wonder the insurgency is going as strongly as it is. Some guy dies by US fire, and his brothers, cousins and friends join the insurgency to get revenge. So what have we really accomplished in this war?

My New Years Resolution

dont hate me..

i didnt say it


some guy on Cnn was saying it

damn relax

And yet American citizens can be arrested if they even plan on leaving the country to partake in prostitutes?

We invaded their land and killed 10s of thousands of their people. Iraq had nothing to do with the war on terror until we invaded them.
