Full Version: When taken to the Nth degree
This is a spin-off from the "How Much Torture" thread. Even if this thread's lifespan is short, I believe that it should be by itself, as it has the potential to mess up the other thread.
Part of an interrogator's skill involves knowing just how much a human being can take. Sometimes the interrogator miscalculates.
Questions for the Legal Eagles and those in the know:
1. What is done, and what are the legal considerations when a prisoner of war or a detainee who is being tortured dies?
2. Do the families of the prisoner have any legal recourse?
3. Are there penalties for the torturers?
Question for anyone:
4. Is this good practice, and if so, for whom?
