    ”In Latin America the heritage of decades of military dictatorship means that “recourse to violent methods, notably torture, remains widespread among the security forces”, says a report from the Paris based Action by Christians for the Abolition of Torture (ACAT).-.” Raping women in Vietnam is what? Afghanistan and Iraq? Does this tell you something? What about South Africa? What about Nigeria? Pff, I can continue. What about the USA helping monsters like Videla and Pinochet or Stroessner? What about the UK doing the same? Hello???? It's funny that the same people who supports people like Sadam Hussein, when this people is an obstacle, they kill them like the USA did with Sadam Hussein. How can they talk about torture? What about Israel? What are they doing to Palestinians? What can we say about LA FRANCE!?!? If you want to end torture, you should tell names, you should tell places, you can't say Latin America, you should tell names, who is torturing people, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner? Sarkozy? Obama? Cameron? Chávez? Piñera the pinochetist? Lula? Give us the names of those who torture people or don't say anything at all.
