Torture Quotes - Page 10

• With Hillary Clinton as our commander in chief, our international relations will not be reduced to a business transaction. I also know that our armed forces will not become an instrument of torture and they will not be engaged in murder or carry out other illegal activities.

• Four years that the [Barack] Obama Justice Department... There were 100 ostensible cases, allegations. No weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, allegations of torture, all this garbage that left was putting out, and the Obama Justice Department took four years considering those cases.

• Anyway, the [Barack] Obama administration took four years to say they weren't gonna do anything on George W. Bush. There were all kinds of people that wanted to prosecute him over the torture, quote, unquote, at Guantanamo Bay.

• Not only is America a country where torture is now policy. It's now outsourced. It's given to companies at a cost-plus basis. It's a triple whammy of surreal, absolute madness.

• Cuando se tortura a una persona durante largos periodos se puede conseguir un defensor de los derechos humanos muy apasionado, pero lo más probable es que se consiga una bestia cuya única preocupación sea buscar su venganza de la mejor manera posible.

• [Barack Obama] prometió acabar con la tortura, pero ha continuado con las entregas de la CIA, en las que se secuestra a personas y se las envía a otro país para ser interrogadas.

• I am sorry to be so blunt, but I do not see much ambiguity here. [Barack] Obama was late to affirm the Egyptian revolution as a democratic movement, and even then he was eager to have installed those military leaders who were known for their practices of torture. And now he is quick to make allies with the Muslim Brotherhood for tactical reasons as well (though earlier that same administration stoked Islamophobic fear about that very political party).

• There's something deeply rooted in American culture. You can pretty much identify what it was. You take a look at the history. It was internal conquest. You had to defend yourself against what the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson, an enlightened figure, called the attacks of the "merciless Indian savages," whose known way of warfare was torture and destruction. Also you had a slave population, you had to protect yourself against them. You needed guns.

• Obama has done things like Hitler did. Let me be very careful here. The National Socialists rounded people up and held them without trial, signed legislation that gave torture impunity, and spied on their citizens, just as Obama has. It isn't a question of what has been done that Hitler did. It's what does every dictator do, on the left or the right, that is being done here and now.

• Intolerance has always been one of the cornerstones of Christianity - the glorious heritage of the Inquisition. It's no coincidence that most of my abusive mail - sentencing me to exquisite Oriental tortures and relegating me to hell-fire and damnation -comes from self-admitted Catholics.

• Shouldn't the American leadership be addressing what is happening in America, with its domestic policies on racism, discrimination, illegal monitoring, solitary confinement, torture, Guantanamo Bay and any other social and political issues related to the American society not directly connected to Islam? American Muslims must speak out and be involved as well in international policies and, through their institutions, they should raise their voice. This is the way you serve the community.

• Torture is abominable, things like ripping out someone's nails, or burning someone with a blowtorch. And those who practice it feel a certain power but it's suicidal. They will never get over what they've done. And it creates sadists.

• Hegemony is not defined by rivers or conventional borders - it's dominance, it's influence. So we get to decide in our hearts, are we in Iraq to help restore something, or are we there to establish dominance? How can you torture people and say, well, that's just a few bad apples in our culture?

• I find that deadlines form part of the aesthetic. I don't have that "It could only have been this way" kind of thing. I tend to rewrite it and say that after the fact, but on the way there, there are just some routes that you have to give up and make decisions, and that decision-making I find torturous. But I'm used to that torture.

• La cuestión de la tortura, relacionada con los soldados estadounidenses, no es un tema en el que la mayoría de la gente quiera detenerse. Puede que en Estados Unidos no queramos enfrentarnos tanto a este tema por la forma en que queremos pensar en nuestros veteranos. Existe la sensación de que queremos pensar en nuestros veteranos como - si están dañados, dañados por algo glamuroso, como un tiroteo.

• Para mí, el hecho de que un Vicepresidente pueda ir al Capitolio y presionar a favor de la tortura es simplemente increíble. Simplemente increíble. El hecho de que una pequeña camarilla de abogados del Departamento de Justicia pueda escribir cómo podemos eludir las Convenciones de Ginebra para poder torturar durante los interrogatorios... no puedo ni siquiera mentalizarme. Y cuando lees sus informes, no lo consiguen mentalmente.

• I do not think that torture is necessary. But it may be the case that interrogation methods that go beyond questioning, but do not arise to the level of torture, may be necessary to get actionable intelligence from high-ranking al Qaeda leaders.

• The racism is so profound and the recognition - the kind of deep recognition that you have to humiliate. It's not about to killing or torture. It's to humiliate. So the oppressed feel degraded. And both the oppressed understand and the oppressors understand. It's constant.

• J.J. Abrams wanted me to do a part in Lost and we probably had three meetings, and I finally turned it down, but it wasn't because I didn't like television or Lost, although I think I said to J.J., "I don't want to be in Hawaii and have an insurance person tell me I'm not allowed to go free dive and spear fishing." That would be the worst kind of torture in the world. But I don't hate television.

• Los millennials no ven a su país en guerra. No ven el islam militante como el mal. No ven el terrorismo islámico como el mal. Si tienen 30 años, 911, 2001, eran adolescentes, ha habido tanta propaganda sobre eso. Se ha culpado en gran medida a Estados Unidos de estos actos de terror, presidentes como Bush con sus torturas han creado terroristas y demás. Realmente han recibido una dosis de antiamericanismo, bueno, creo que desde que empezaron a ir al colegio, pero se intensificó una vez que llegaron al instituto y a la universidad.
