Visiting the Torture Museum
Edited on Sun Feb-24-08 09:45 AM by Joanne98
Sometimes a little stroll through history can have its uses. Take, as an example, the continuing debate over torture in post-9/11 America. Last week, Stephen Bradbury, the head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, testified before the House Judiciary Committee about waterboarding. In defending its use, Bradbury took a deep dive into the past. He claimed that the CIA's waterboarding of at least three of its prisoners bore "no resemblance" to what torturers in the Spanish Inquisition had done when they used what was then called "the Water Torture."

3. That happens from time to time.

When I run across it I change the brackets to parentheses: (s)

That is, if I happen to notice in time to edit. I'm what you could consider an expert at making mistakes with HTML code.
