“While Americans grimace at the mention of the Hitler Influence, there is nowhere to run, no where to hide from our Auschwitz and Dachau–-Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo.”
Bobby W. Miller
“I like a man who's good, but not too good--for the good die young, and I hate a dead one.”
Mae West
“I hate and love - wherefore I cannot tell, but by my tortures know the fact too well”
Catullus
“The assurances of known torturers, many of whom deny the use of torture even when it is widely documented, are not worth the paper they are written on.”
Mike Blakemore
“There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.”
Thomas Alva Edison
“There is no question that U.S. interrogations have resulted in deaths. High-ranking officials who knew about the torture and sat on their hands and those who created and endorsed these policies must be held accountable.”
Anthony D. Romero
“The heaviest sentence imposed on anyone to date for a torture-related death while in US custody is five months -- the same sentence that you might receive in the US for stealing a bicycle. In this case, the five-month sentence was for assaulting a 22-year-old taxi-driver who was hooded and chained to a ceiling while being kicked and beaten until he died.”
