Where to begin ? I suppose that first of all I have to say that the information being uncovered is (if true) repulsive. I too choose not to watch the video.Posted by ulli (here)

But now Im asking myself how come I was so naive as to believe that tortures were going on in the Dark Ages, the Middle Ages, and here in modern times it has all stopped?
My conclusion is now that why would it not have continued? People get their kicks from ever-increasing stimulation, which could even include the watching of the suffering of others. ....
I'm puzzled by the first part of the quoted post, above. How can anybody alive and even reasonably awake NOT know that the U.S and British governments torture people on a regular basis ? Torturing children is unbelievably awful (I can't even find the right words) and quite simply wrong. But surely torturing ANYONE is wrong isn't it ? Or have even the members of this forum become so brainwashed that we are prepared to accept torture of adults, for whatever ludicrous reason given by the PTB ?
I remember that when the press revealed that Britain was indeed torturing "terror" suspects, the fact itsself was bad enough, but what was even more sickening was the reaction of the British public, which ranged from indifference to glee.
Not only do these creatures enjoy torturing people, they also enjoy filming it, and posting images online. But is it possible to prosecutre the perpetrators ? No, because in the USA they are considered to be "heroes".
And (re: the second part of your post which I quoted), there are untold millions of people around the world who happily look at images of their supposed enemies being tortured. Why aren't the images taken down ? Or blocked ?
Why is it that if you look at a picture of a little girl in a swimsuit you get sent to prison (in the UK at least), but if you look at pictures of torture, if you watch videos of people having their heads hacked off, you are considered normal ?
If we want the maltreatment of children to stop, then surely we have to start by recognising that the maltreatment of ANYONE is wrong.
I have a feeling that this is only the tip of the iceberg.

While I applaud the fact that the ITCCS has convicted Ratzinger of crimes agains humanity, might I be permitted to ask why they haven't done the same for George W Bush and Tony Blair ?
