Bet You Didn't Know This!

I'll bet that you didn't know that most of the modern forms of torture were first invented and utilized by democracies. The totalitarian and authoritarian states made more extensive use of them, but we invented them first.

The other thing that was sort of astonishing is that in democracies, the torturers want to be loved for their work. They are aided and abetted by public approval and cower at public disapproval. So all of the Wingnuts who approve of the use of torture are as guilty of it as are the torturers themselves.
