UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Concerned about the possibility of independent visits to U.S. civilian and military prisons, the United States sought Wednesday to block a vote on a U.N. plan meant to enforce a convention on torture.http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp.../un_torture_14Among the U.S. concerns is language that could allow for international and independent visits to U.S. prisons and to terror suspects being held by the U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba.
I would like to find out everyone's opinion, and why they are for or against the use torture.
For example, would you be willing to pull someone's nails out if you thought you could either find out something important from the person being tortured or "coerce" them or whatever. What would be your reasons and so on and so forth...
Input is greatly appreciated.
