huf@hexbear.net 22 hours agowhy are you stuck on the current illegality of this? you seem to think it’s not right to condemn their actions because they were legal at the time. extremely weird take.
but tell me, was it legal back then to do a coup and install a dictator and annex a bit of land?

oh wow, you’re going with the “enhanced interrogation” bullshit? how’s it feel to be a torture defender?

The Roman Inquisition used torture as an interrogation technique. Those are overlapping categories and can both apply to the same thing separately. And I sincerely doubt that it’s autism that’s giving you so much trouble here
