Good point. You can't I guess. But when the government starts doing this, we've degraded to a state where you are tortured until you confess, regardless of whether you did it.
(Beyond the obvious Gitmo examples, consider the long list of wrongful convictiobs based on coerced confessions / testimony – I'd sleep easier if there was consistently harsh punishment for those responsible)
Which is true. The public go completely OTT bat shit mental the split second something happens, and governments respond with equally bat shit mental policies. And "we" love it. "We" vote for it.
When the general public say no on mass it will stop and be reversed. Sad fact is, "we" support this, torture and all, as long as we have money for throwaway Chinese consumer garbage.
