    This is for citizens of the USA.

    I appreciate our conservative members may not like the people that set this up but this is about human values. This is about us being better than countries that torture. We are civilised, let's not practice the very thing we claim to be fighting.

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    Torture has been around and will always be around.
    Secret CIA prisons will always be around.

    If the US (among other countries) signs on to a no torture policy, it will still happen, so they may as well sign on.

    Well, as its just been released that the Iraqi government is already doing the very things that the Hussain regime was supposedly removed for...

    And the US/UK were and are still doing the torture thing by all accounts...


    There can be no harm in signing... although it will be ignored

    Thanks for the link, Vid. I read where some of the prisoners they found in Iraq were paralized and some with areas of skin missing.

    do you have anyplace where one can petition to surrender from the human race

    So Hank and I are precluded from any credible discussion of "human values", then?

    Damned intolerant of you.

    Funny; now the world is divided between "conservatives" and "not-conservatives".

    So much for unity, huh?

    I saw this and read it as such that you were saying 'it doesn't matter who set this up, what matters is human values, something we all care about.'

    Did I misunderstand your meaning, Vid?
