Waterboarding is a form of torture which consists of immobilizing the victim on his or her back with the head inclined downwards, and then pouring water over the face and into the breathing passages, causing the captive to believe he or she is dying.
Forced suffocation and water inhalation cause the subject to experience the sensation of drowning. Waterboarding is considered a form of torture by legal experts, politicians, war veterans,medical experts in the treatment of torture victims, intelligence officials,[9] military judges[10] and human rights organizations.[11][12]
In contrast to submerging the head face-forward in water, waterboarding precipitates an almost immediate gag reflex.[13] While the technique does not inevitably cause lasting physical damage, it can cause extreme pain, dry drowning, damage to lungs, brain damage from oxygen deprivation, other physical injuries including broken bones due to struggling against restraints, lasting psychological damage or, if uninterrupted, death.[3] Adverse physical consequences can start manifesting months after the event; psychological effects can last for years.[7]
This attitude of revenge is very 'American', and is why the rest of the world questions your right to tell others about human rights.
Trying her as an adult is questionable to me, and at the very least questions need to be asked about her upbringing, psychological state and so forth both before and at trial.
Yes I know nothing will bring the girl she killed back, but torturing her is not the answer. Contrary it seems to the majority opinion on this board, two wrongs do not make a right.
Don't be.
Let's not turn this into a pointless flame war. Denmark suits my lifestyle (pay is far higher than for the same job in the US, and is far less anti-gambling than the US), and most of my ideologies (in certain areas it's a bit too socialist) more than the US does, and thus I am happier here than the US.
For you it may be vice-versa, that is fine, but don't imagine for a second that everyone in the world wishes they were American / living in America, because it's simply not true.
