My observation is that 'torture', institutionalised or spontaneous, is carried out by one group almost exclusively, the xy group. This seems to be true no matter the historical time period or the geographical locations of the societies.<BR/><BR/>Has anyone thought to analyse the problem of torture based on the overwhelming application of it by the xy group? Doubtless, there are aberrations; but the historical preponderence of xy humans using torture is undeniable.<BR/><BR/>I am wondering why this aspect is ignored. Do you know? It seems to be a determining variabl affecting the use of torture.<BR/><BR/>Nice work on your films and efforts. Good on you.Sheilanagighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535514034740406104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048559001654820158.post-76392222750981553642008-10-13T06:31:00.000-07:002008-10-13T06:31:00.000-07:00Torturing Democracy was produced by Washington Med...Torturing Democracy was produced by Washington Media Associates in association with the National Security Archive.

Unfortunately, the CIA has been the rogue agency for years and it is time someone got proper control over it. Terrorists should be dealt with firmly but waterboarding is torture. That is not to say that they should have TVs and a sofa. There are other methods to weasel out information like playing high pitched music, dark room with no visitors etc.the_world_in_my_eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10420191017401446737noreply@blogger.com
