Alternatives to torture forum

As it seems the anti-torture bill will pass into UN law, His Most Royal Highness, Dowager Prince Willwont of The Grand Duchy of Heraklaneum wishes to open disussion focused on alternatives to physical torture.

His Highness has often found that by standing the individual to be interogated blindfolded on a box, then pointing a fan at their face and playing traffic noise, He can convince the individual to believe that they are on the top of a very tall buliding and about to be pushed off unless they feel inclined to reveal certain information to His Highness.

Either that or play Demis Rousso records until they give in.

His Majesty hopes that His insights into harmless information extraction will prove useful to other UN nation leaders.

His Highness extends His favor on His fellow UN members.

Yours in greatest sincerity,
Lanfranco Rasponioni
First Musical Director, Royal Puppetry Theatre
Grand Duchy of Heraklaneum

As we of LostParadise have tried to point out in several discussions, we find that making love with prisoners can be a very effective method of finding out what we need to know.

We feel this is a *fine* alternative the the rather nasty business of torture!!

Torture, in any form, is still torture. There is no way of getting away from that fact. :wink:

We should not restrict the rights of the nations in the U.N. That would be the same as one of these nations restricting the rights of their civilians. Torture should be allowed simply because the U.N. shouldn't violate the rights and privileges of the nations within it.

:twisted: We give witnesses, who don't testify the death penalty, and if the death devices don't work completely, it's not our fault! A firing squad with bad aim can't be considered torture. Can it? Nor is our fault if the twine we hang people with keeps breaking. And, if that lethal injection isn't so lethal, what can we do about it? Lastly, if an electric chair's current is too low to kill, blame the electrician not us! :evil:

We should just continue to torture as usual. We'll just hide it. I mean, how will the un find out what we're doing in cold underground dungions surrounded by those not completely legal land mines? In fact this law may be good because it will force us to update our meathods of torture! :!: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

When the US invaded Panama to remove Noriega in the late 80s they surrounded his villa and, due to Noriega's famous love for opera, promptly started blasted Twisted Sister at a few thousand decibles.

It didn't work, but maybe if the accused didn't have access to ear plugs...
