Rock The Casbah

The French army General, Paul Aussaresses, who rocked the Casbah (quite literally) during he Algerian War of Independence has died, aged 95.

He was a man who admitted torturing and killing Prisoners of War and that the French Government of the time was fully aware and complicit.

He was only ever convicted by a French court.....of defending the use of torture

His punishment.....he was stripped of his Legion of Honour.

Despite his admission (with never any hint of regret...."it became legitimate when the situation demanded it".) he was never tried for his war crimes.

This got me thinking.....can torture ever really be "legitimate"?

Although I consider myself humanitarian by nature, I do believe in certain circumstances there is justifiable precedent for forcibly extracting information...

Fully agree. If something like 9/11 could have been prevented by using a bucket of water, a towel and a certain morality then so be it.

Yes. Some people give up their human rights by not behaving with human decency.
