As one reflects on history... one sees history repeating itself, without a doubt with this instance of inhumanity, as well as much more that we have been reading about. We, as a people.. a human race, need to act more, to put a stop to such things... There are ways to make differences... And.... torture is just not one of them...
DAKAR, Dec. 2, 2008 (Reuters) — Mauritanian security forces routinely torture detainees, using electric shocks, burns and sexual violence, and this has increased since a military coup in August, Amnesty International said on Wednesday.
The human rights watchdog issued a report entitled "Torture At The Heart Of The State" which accused Mauritanian authorities of employing torture as their only method of investigation.

Torture is not even admissible in my opinion. Lets hope for better days.

Many of us do have hope, Luiz... I have actually seen torture, first hand, from a place I have been.. I would like to elaborate more, but can not.. However, I can assure you, that under no circumstances will it ever be admissible.. Thanks for the comment..
