This is unacceptable.
Perhaps some nation with some moral standing on the issue of torture will speak up.
What nations have that standing ?
Brian’s question is a good one. UK and US protest against this kind of obscenity rings hollow because both have been complicit in torture and, in the case of the US, still hold kidnap victims in Guantanamo Bay.
It seems that governments in both those countries still fail to understand that these tactics, together with murderous drone strikes in Pakistan and Afghanistan, produce more terrorism not less.
Those chickens, that Malcom X referred to, seem to have a lot of roosts. And they are finding them quite comfortable.
