On the subject of torture, I received the following comment on Thomas Paine?s Corner recently from Wolfgang May:
"Apart from the humanitarian concerns, information obtained through torture is usually unreliable. When I was Intelligence Operations Officer of the 4th US Armored Division in Germany, our professional interrogators told me they tried to develop a rapport with the detainee. This takes a few days, but the information from that effort is usually good. Torture is used only by pathetic, sadistic amateurs. For more info on how the professionals work, read "Talking with Victor Charlie" by Tourison."
Struggling for social justice and peace in ?El PaÃs de las Pesadillas? (the nation of nightmares) is no easy task, and certainly will not qualify one to win a popularity contest. However, it is well worth the effort. In spite of the overwhelming odds against it, I believe that the United States can become a more just and peaceful nation, and thus enable the world to awaken from its nightmares involving murder and mayhem inflicted by a sadistic maniac named Uncle Sam. Let's work together to make this possible.
