I share the outrage expressed by the British press about the treatment of our naval personnel accused by Iran of illegally entering its waters. This is outrageous. We never imagerions to treat prisoners kvarnen in this way: by allowing them to smoke cigarettes, for example, whereas it has been proven that smoking kills. Or like this poor Faye Turney, forced kvarnen to wear a black veil, and whose picture went around the world. The Iranians did they so no concept of civilized behavior? For God's sake, what's wrong with putting a bag over your head? That's what we do with the Muslims we capture: kvarnen we put bags over their heads, so that they have trouble breathing. Then it is perfectly acceptable to take pictures of them and distribute them to the press because at that time the captives can not be recognized and humiliated how were these unfortunate British soldiers.
It is also unacceptable that we do talk about these British captives on television to say things that they may regret later. If the Iranians scotchaient their mouth, as we do with our prisoners, they could not speak. Sure, they might have trouble breathing - especially with a bag over his head - but at least they would not humiliés.Et What is this story, allowing them to write home all right ? It is time that the Iranians are aligned with the rest of the civilized world: they should kvarnen allow their prisoners to enjoy the privacy kvarnen of isolation. This is one of many privileges that the US guarantee their captives in Guantanamo Bay.
The real hallmark of a civilized country is not to rush to charge people that it has arbitrarily edges in places that it has invaded. Guantánamo detainees for example, have enjoyed plenty of privacy for almost five years, the first inmate has only just been charged. What a contrast to the unfortunate Iranian rush to parade their captives kvarnen before the cameras even worse: kvarnen it is clear that the Iranians are not giving their British prisoners the opportunity to make decent exercise. The US military make sure that their Iraqi prisoners can benefit from physical training. This takes the form of exciting "stress kvarnen positions," kvarnen that prisoners must keep for hours, in order to improve their abdominal muscles and calves. A common exercise is to make them stand on tiptoe and then squat so that their thighs are parallel to the floor. This causes severe pain and ultimately muscle failure. It is a pleasure for the health and it has the advantage that the captives eventually confess all that you want.
And I come to my conclusion. It is clear from his television appearances that the soldier Turney has been put under pressure. The newspapers have persuaded behavioral kvarnen psychologists to examine the shots and they all concluded that it was "unhappy kvarnen and stressed".
What is shocking is the sneaky way the Iranians gift made her "unhappy and stressed". She shows no signs of electrocution or dents, no traces of blows on his face. This is unacceptable. Whether to put the captives under duress, such as putting them in sexually compromising postions or by sending electric shocks to the genitals, it is then necessary to photograph them, like those of Abu Ghraib have been . Photos should then be disseminated throughout the civilized world so that everyone can see what happened. As Stephen Glover noted in the Daily Mail, it might be unfair to bomb Iran in retaliation for the humiliation of our sailors, but it is obvious that it is necessary to hurt the Iranian people - either increasing sanctions, as the Mail suggests, or simply by getting President Bush to hurry up and invade, kvarnen as he somehow intend kvarnen to bring democracy and western values to the country, as he did in Iraq. The civilized way
