Torture, Cabbages, Kings, etc.
You know, I can say with a certainty that I think torture is barbaric and should not be practiced by the government; it is too fearsome a weapon for them to be allowed to have, and their ability to use prudence and discretion is more than a little suspect. To say the least.
But that’s too easy.
If it were me or mine? My kids – grandkids – brother – neices, nephews? What if I had someone in my hands who knew where they were being held at?
I’m afraid to say it, but I’ll admit it: I’d be pulling fingernails. Serious damn business. Be damned if I would let my son or daughter die over such a moral quibble. There would be blood in the scuppers. And may Allah or whoeer help them if they lie, or have harmed them. I would be back, and their veracity and good treatment of my own would very much affect what kind of mood I was in when I returned.
I dunno. But I have to be honest.
