| Re: Waterboarding
What I find amazingly hypocritcal is the fact that we (the UK) are trying to deport Abu Qatada to Jordan to face terrorism charges but we can't because the European Court of Human rights says that the evidence to be used against him in court might have come from other people being tortured, yet the American Government (or is the military) are trying to try some people for 9/11 and have openly admitted to waterboarding them, at least one of them 187 times!!
I know the US and the UK are different countries but if we are both considered the 'west' fighting the war of terror then isn't that a little bit of double standards? |
