I heard an interview with one of his Gulf war sidekicks who said when he visited the Iran border during those hostilities (moral builder for the troups?) he instructed one of his guards to be prepared to shoot him if capture was imminent. Says a lot for his opinion of Iranian methodology and how he thinks the US troups/world opinion would work. He is a strategist. He was treated pretty physically and brutally by his stepfather so a bit of discomfort/humiliation is not a problem he is unfamiliar with. He Trusts the US to keep him alive or at least string-out the process till the next but one election. He is that devious - the evidence is there.
BUT TORTURE - that could go on for ever - and hurt forever.

Now we all remember the stories of Edward the Second don't we? Those who have forgotten have a choice of myths. But both involve a red hot poker. I think EII's crimes were as nothing by comparison and it will prove we have come a long way. History is about to happen.
