Reds ban torture!

1 minute read
The communist dictatorship ruling China has banned the use of torture to extract confessions.

Entitled The Law on Penalties for Offences against Public Order, the new edict will also ban the use of evidence obtained by threats, the Xinhua news agency reports. Ke Liangdong, director of the legal affairs bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, was quoted as saying the law stipulated an "illegal evidence exclusion principle" that "evidence obtained by torture, threatening or cheating could not be used as the basis for penalties".

State media have reported that police investigators last year found 12,000 cases of inappropriate handling of detainees, which makes even the Bush administration’s Guantanamo gulag look good.

However, unlike the communists, the Bushevik’s have no intention of outlawing the use of torture, and continue to practice it both at Guantanamo and in other U.S. military concentration camps around the world.

    If you believe Dubya and his anal polyp - aka John Howard - then why not believe the Chinese commies? After all, the commies have a "Strong Direction" and believe in the "mainstream" too! And they're real tough on "terrorism"! Especially in Tibet!

    The U.S. and other 'democracies' have always maintained the illigitimacy and despotism inherent in Communism. The "commies" have always been the Bad Guys - at least, they became so after helping us defeat Hitler's nazi threat.

    Now, in GWB's ludicrous, self-defeating "war on terror", one thing is obvious: the Bush administration and U.S. military forces are definitely NOT the "Good Guys".

    We're in the grip of a dysfunctional super-power and a clique of thieves, killers and lunatics... and it ain't over yet!

    The more things in Australia change, the more jumbled up things get politically. The more jumbled up you Aussies get, the more fight you get back in you. Hopefully Australia will fractionalize to the point of Anarchy, and it will thus be a cake walk for enterprising Americans to claim it as our own. What ya'll need is a few more muslims, a bunch of queers, more lesbians, more commies, and tons more drugs. Yes, we will be opening some meth labs soon in your town.

    Hey, sorry to see that Satan burned Perth to the ground - even made our news here in the states - must have been one heck of a fire. Bet, land's getting cheaper by the second in Perth. Just ripe for the pick'n
