It never works

Torture doesn't work. It doesn't work because it happens on all sides during war, not just one. We found out that our government and military condone torture (as in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib). I would also mention that this is happening prisons around our country but that no one (in the media) cares enough to talk about it. Now, we're hearing that some of our POW's who were tortured are on the verge of being given the shaft by our own American judicial system.

No matter who's doing the cutting, burning, impaling, whipping, beating, or screaming, no one wins. Too bad our media has decided that this story, and the other stories of government-sanctioned torture and abuse (against both US citizens and 'foreigners'), are no longer important enough to talk about.
