I don't think I referred to any 'admissions' Richard, maybe you're confusing me with someone else you enjoy poking with a long stick? :-)

And I've already stated categorically, on several posts earlier, that torture is completely unacceptable.

My point is simply that it's sometimes desirable to hold potentially dangerous individuals in custody, in order to investigate with the purpose of either constructing a case against them or exonerating them and, more importantly, in order to prevent harm befalling innocent citizens. As long as that process is conducted in a proper, legally controlled manner, and the detainee is treated with due humanity, I see nothing wrong in it.

Now I really am outta here. You're going to need a very long stick.......   :-) :-)
