In the United Arab Emirates they know what real torture is. And they know that what we call torture looks more like juvenile fraternity initiation rites.
Want proof? Consider this secret videotape from ABC News. It shows a member of the UAE’s royal family torturing a man with electric cattle prods, whips, and wooden planks with studded with nails.
Torture is hard work, so he’s ably assisted in his efforts by a helpful police officer who binds the victim’s arms and legs and holds him down while the Sheikh literally pours salt on his wounds. Then, in the coup de grâce, the Sheikh runs over his victim him with an SUV. Not just any SUV, mind you, but a Mercedes-Benz SUV.
The UAE Ministry of the Interior said, yup, you got us on this one – that was the brother of the country’s crown prince performing the torture.
Even worse, they seemed to excuse the torture by saying, “The incidents depicted in the video tapes were not part of a pattern of behavior.” But the most frightening part of the statement was that “all rules, policies and procedures were followed correctly by the Police Department.
So do us a favor. When you’re around us, don’t refer to the school girl crap that we do to terrorists as “torture.”
Excuse us. The doorbell just rang. We have to take the panties off our heads and answer the door.

I suspect soon Tim Robbins will head over and deal with those folks…..
I agree. What’s so bad about simulated drowning? If it delivers vital information that can be used to keep Americans safe from terrorists, I say keep on keep on! And prosecuting the Bush administration… does Congress and their lap dog President really want to open that can of worms? I’m no expert, but I know stupid when I see it.
(Hah! Tim Robbins… what a douche.)
But the UAE is a ‘friend’ of the US:
On January, 2008, Bush praised the UAE is a “model of a Muslim state that is tolerant of other faiths”, and said women in the UAE have achieved equality and attained “high political positions”.
Wake up! Forget Republican and Democrat, try weasels (the politcal caste and their corporate cronies) and deluded chumps (decent ordianry people who still needed a reason to believe).
The USA lectures selected countries about their human rights violations but, with our friends in the middle east, anything goes. How convenient is that?!
