Only the most despicable nation on earth (read the United States) would do something as horrible as waterboarding terrorists. Especially with a flimsy excuse like “Maybe we can get information to keep them from blowing up more buildings and killing more innocent people.”
But as we’ve been told by President Obama, great nations don’t torture.
Take France, or example. Now there’s a civilized nation. They don’t torture people unless it’s for a really good reason. Like maybe winning a TV game show.
According to NPR, “France is reeling from a documentary about a psychological experiment disguised as a game show. The fictitious game show had all the trappings of a real TV quiz show, including a beautiful and well-known hostess, and a raucous audience. A group of contestants posed questions to a man sitting inside a box in front of them in an electric chair.”
The players were urged by both the hostess and audience to send shocks into the man in the box when he gave a wrong answer.
Even when the player screamed out in pain, begging them to stop, 80% of the contestants continued zapping him.
Liberté, égalité, fraternité, and now, électricité.
