I wouldn't say the rack would be the worst of torturing ways. I would know, I did a 5 minute speech on torture devices and how to use them. For instance, one was where you put a helmet with a drill attached, on someone's head, then drill into their head slowly, inch by inch, until they "talk."

I don't do anything the Rome's Pope says of course 'cos I use my own brain , but honestly the Catholic Church is 100 times cleaner and
more concerned about religion spirit than a bunch of mad war criminals and their supporting anglican & protestant gay priests !!

typical one-way rubbish BBC style : history tells us that torture had been developed in all its varieties throughout the centuries by Anglican Protestant Kings and authorities , from Henry the 8th to the
Brit troops operating in Northern Ireland .
So the Protestant Church amd all the protestant disturbed minds supporting many atrocities comin from that side ( Iraqi's invasion ,Guantanamo and Belfast as last ones of a long seirie ) should be enough smart to shut up forever !

You chat shit, honestly you do. Torture has been around alot long than you say. Its been around since man wanted something else from another man therefore cant possibly know when it was made up.

Torture was illegal "except under exceptional circumstances". ha kind of reminds me of section 44 of the UK terrorism act
