What the Frog’s Eye Tells the Frog’s Brain Part I
I watch a lot of stuff in US culture today and am amazed at what I see and hear. The television talk shows are full of debates on whether the US should torture people.
Let’s review, shall we. The US has signed numerous treaties that bar torture, including the Geneva Conventions and the Convention Against Torture. The US has prosecuted interrogators who waterboarded US soldiers for war crimes.
Is there need to do more analysis? Are we country of laws or a country of liars, cheats and hypocrites?
Waterboarding is torture. Investigate the people who did this, indict them, prosecute them and put them in jail.
Res ipsa loquitor.
