Strappado is a form of torture in which the victim's hands are first tied behind their back, and then he or she is suspended in the air by means of a rope attached to wrists, which most likely dislocates both arms - weights may be added to the body to intensify the effect and increase the pain

Its beyond my imaginative skills to understand any point in this. How can a human be so brutal with another human. It clearly goes on to show the insensitivity of American militia and intelligentsia on the entire dessert storm issue.

I have a question: what is that beautiful font that you used for the blog title? I absolutely have to know. Thank you. :)
It’s sad that you include only picture of evil white people torturing; you don’t include any pictures depicting the ‘real’ torture that Al Queda performs on their victims. I’m sorry, being stripped naked, with a collar around my neck, while a dog snaps at me isn’t torture; having my head sawed off with a knife “IS” torture. How one sided can you be?
How about these then:

hey can you tell me what the hell is American doing in Irak ? stay in your country. I prefer to have ma head chop than have the public humiliation of faking to fuck the floor. You are as dangerous as the army with ur stupid thinking. Soldier should all leave and start to become little prick in their own country. And if they want to torture someone, they should try their wives. Let’s see after that what the court will do. I’m sure it will be more than just 6 months of prison.
u twat.
Dear Sir,
I am a training manager working within the National Health Service here in the United Kingdom, with a brief around Equality Diversity and Human Rights. I am presently working on an e-learning programme for internal use about the Human Rights Act. One of the most important features of any learning programme is quality eye catching illustrations. I am in need of an illustration to help me with Article 4 Freedom fromTorture, and I would really like to use one of the pictures from your site. It is the oneof Abu Grahib that I found it on Google and I understand it belongs to you. Would you be kind enough to give me your consent to use it for the purposes described.
Thank you very much
Phil Waters
Thank you very much for considering this request.

nothing outrageous here… the ones who are shocked propably did not know that the human imagination and creativity is not just for music and films. And even with this knowledge some prefer to be in some animal-rights organization, when people all over the world die in excruciating pain and agony. What a hypocrisy……..
