Say Wha? To whip or not to whip?

Iraqi soldiers whipped a captured suspect with an electical cord until he became cooperative then turned him over to American troops to provide valuable intelligence.

Quote:
To the Iraqi soldiers, the treatment was normal and necessary. They were proud of their technique and proud to have helped the Americans.

“I prepared him for the Americans and let them take his confession,” Capt. Bassim Hassan said through an interpreter
When a problem comes along.
You must whip it.


Quote:

When something's going wrong.
You must whip it.

Quote:

I say whip it.
Whip it good.

If torture works then it works, but that doesn't make it right. You shouldn't be gloating over this, albed.

Yeah, not even one dead enemy. But most likely some saved lives and limbs. Well worth it anyway.
