Re: "There is only one justification for having sinned, and that is to be glad of it." Some who are: "In the Roman Empire, physicians were legally permitted to be present at, or take part in, the torture of those suspected of sorcery. During the Middle Ages, judges of the Inquisition, regularly encouraged the use of priest-doctors to torture suspected heretics. Many of the ancient warlords of China and Japan included in their entourages a physician whose speciality was deciding which torture to use. The Spanish conquerors of Mexico and Peru took along their doctors who supervised the torture of Indians. The courts of England's Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Elizabeth I all had their physicians who attended torture sessions. "The experts knew that most certainly those doctors, like their Nazi successors and their Japanese counterparts in World War II, and all those who had followed – that all of them, despite the torture and murder they witnessed or actually committed, still had a strong belief in themselves as doctors." -Gordon Thomas, "Journey Into Madness, The True Story of Secret CIA Mind Control and Medical Abuse"
