Torture

The news channels have been dominated today by the story of  whether or not British intelligence were complicit in the  torturing  of suspects, all sorts of enquiries are being called for, predictably Shami Chakrabarti the director of Liberty is outraged and is insisting that we should be to.

If only Shami and people like her would show as much concern for the victims as they do for the perpetrators of crime, a few days ago Nick Ferrari the LBC presenter offered a hypothetic scenario where he asked “if we had in custody a terrorist who had knowledge of a bomb that was due to explode in a kids nursery somewhere in this country,  and time was running out, would you be happy for that information to be got from him using torture” Not one caller to his show objected to the use of torture under those terms.

However when I posed that question to people in my own circle of friends and family I was horrified that one said that we should not use torture,  protecting the human rights of that terrorist took precedent over the lives of those children. Brainwashing by the liberal media has worked to such an extent that people are quoting human rights in the most ridiculous of situations.

My own opinion is do what it takes, there are no rules, if such a scenario as the one outlined above ever happened I could quite happily rip out the terrorists heart with my bare hands to get the information, as far as I am concerned he forfeited his rights when the bomb was planted, human rights should apply to humans, not animals that snuff out innocent life without a second thought.

In the desperate attempt to be PC or to be seen to be seen PC, we have lost sight of what is right and what is wrong, so let me remind our Politicians, its wrong to Plant bombs, its right to torture to find out where the bombs are.
