Political Kabuki Theatre, May 18, 2011by AmberShards (The Gothic South) The intro and the first few rooms of this game are amazing, as it describes a world that exists only as hateful fantasy. "No rhyme or reason"? Uhm, that doesn't make sense. No-one bothers to go to the effort to track, arrest, and imprison someone on a whim; every action has a reason. Was this review helpful to you?

And multiple government panels have concluded that some military and CIA personnel did use torture on innocent people, and the "enhanced interrogation" techniques were torture. Just ask John McCain and Ted Cruz- McCain was tortured by a Communist regime, and Cruz's dad was, so they certainly would be able to tell. And they agree that torture did happen, and it was bad. Torture also doesn't work: http://www.amazon.com/Why-Torture-Doesnt-Work-Interrogation/dp/0674743903 http://www.amazon.com/How-Break-Terrorist-Interrogators-Brutality/dp/0312675119 "No rhyme or reason" makes sense, as a lot of the released prisoners that were innocent say that was what they felt when they were first arrested. And again, a lot of the people arrested were innocent, so the main character is most likely not a jihadist. The U.S military has also kept low value prisoners before for a very long time. So, AmberShards is definitely blind to the reality on the ground. We can't effectively fight the war on terror if we violate human rights in the process. That just makes us like the terrorists, and they will alienate people and what was one of the many things that lead to the rise of ISIS. Let's be better then the terrorists, and fight them without stooping to their level. |
