You realize they are suspects, right? "We" don't know for sure they were even involved. Our intelligence isn't really so superb that I would want them crushing balls willy nilly. So to speak. It would put us at a disadvantage when we complain about the ball crushing of our citizens in foreign countries.

Funny, bland... I believe the same, but about different sets... ...of individuals who 'sport' the objects ... and support different 'ways and means' of application of that 'squeezing' pressure you so eloquently convey. -g- So nice to see you again ... as always. bonnuss

There have been many essays on this that are more eloquent than I could be extemporaneously. However, I would say, that in torturing people, we lose our humanity. I have no doubts that it could be effective, I've got concerns about the side effects to us. I don't doubt that killing all the members of the third world countries in the Middle East with neutron weapons could be effective in ending strife there : no people - no strife. And these weapons would have very low residual radiation. I worry for you bland if you really would take glee in torturing people. If that was the only way, I think I could muster the strength to do it. Hell, I'm pretty sure I could do an emergency trachyotomy on my wife or kids, but hardly relish the opportunity to do so.

What happened to you, bland? I used to think you were witty and thoughtful, but stuff like this really surprises me: I believe we need to place these gentlemen's balls in a vise and squeeze until their eyes turn purple.
