DU posters who condone torture: you are truly amazing
It's been over fifty years since the fourth Geneva Convention, and somehow torture has reappeared and is 'PC' again.

One step forward, two back. Unfuckingbelievable.

4. I'm just curious
Is there a reason why you are bringing this up now? Was there a recent discussion about torture? I cannot figure out the context for this post.

5. There have been many here who condone it.
Long time posters, too.

In the "but what if they grabbed your 5 year old daughter, and the only way to..." threads.

Was awhile back - but there were quite a few who advocated it "under the right circumstances".

It was sickening.

7. I'm guessing
this thread is the reason for the question...

And yes, apparently there are a few DU who think torture is acceptable at least under certain circumstances. (I am not one of them.)

10. Now that I've locked the other torture thread.
This one is now closed.
