It’s detailed in a great book titled 8 O’Clock Ferry to the Windward Side. I’ll see if I can’t get permission to post the chapter concerning his trial.

Is it because they committed or supported some unspeakable act of cruelty? Then ask yourself how you differ.

If this is true… God, I just don’t know what to say. I’m literally sick to my stomach with anger.

There is no planet, nowhere in this solar system or any other, where slicing a man’s penis with a scalpel in order to obtain information is not considered torture.

as used in divorce cases). regardless, there certainly are ocassions when torture is not only justified, but to not employ it would be ethically unacceptable. It’s pretty easy to make the case with regards to the scum that populates
Guantanamo these days. I notice that Obama has allowed plenty of room for so-called “torture” in his fuzzy wuzzy declaration of treatment of these
pigs. What amazes me is that supposedly ethical Americans would even get upset about these execution-ready fellows and their treatment. Perhaps these folks might get outraged by the
actions of these fine fellows. No, that would make some logical sense – better to get outraged against those who won’t threaten your life – easier and safer that way.
