[Basilissa]

Today, the Senate Intelligence Committee reselased a report on the usage of torture by the CIA. The liberal media are all over it, as if torture was wrong or something. I really don't understand what's the big deal? Torture is a great information tool. Bad people quickly break under torture and tell the truth, while good people never break. (I saw that in the movies, so it has to be true).

Besides, torture is approved by :

1) Terrorists who were tortured deserved to be punished for their crimes:

Deuteronomy 25:2 And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.

2) Only stupid people become terrorists, and stupid people deserve to be punished for their stupidity:

Proverbs 19:29 Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

3) Terrorist prisoners are spoils of war, and therefore slaves*. Slaves can be beaten, as long as they don't die within one or two days after the beating:

Exodus 21:20-21
20 And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
21 Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
