"...in a situa...ON WHEN TORTURE ISN'T EVIL<br />"...in a situation of extreme necessity, the possibility, even a slight possibility, that it [torture] may reveal some life saving result would almost certainly overwhelm any consideration that it is evil." - Michael Ignatieff, The Gifford Lectures, University of Edinburgh, January 2003<br /> <br />ON HOW DEMOCRACIES SHOULD JUSTIFY TORTURE<br />"The use of coercive force in a liberal democracy...is regarded as a lesser evil. This particular view of democracy does not prohibit emergency suspensions of rights in times of terror. But it imposes an obligation on government to justify such measures publicly, to submit them to judicial review, and to circumscribe them with sunset clauses so that they do not become permanent." - Michael Ignatieff, The Lesser Evil: Political ethics in an age of terror, Princeton University Press, 2004<br /> <br />DION'S WIFE<br /> <br />"To justify violence, he must have really given it serious thought. Otherwise, that's very dangerous. What guarantee would there be that he wouldn't change his mind again?" - Terrorism and counter-terrorism scholar Dr. Janine Krieber, Facebook message as reprinted in Toronto Star, 21 November 2009George Masonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141615629701321642.post-3273882741931650122009-11-24T16:27:16.930-05:002009-11-24T16:27:16.930-05:00One word explanation: Hypocrite.One word explanation: Hypocrite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141615629701321642.post-30013669178603759052009-11-24T15:27:20.066-05:002009-11-24T15:27:20.066-05:00I am afraid it`s the same old story --- big busine...I am afraid it`s the same old story --- big business runs the show.<br /><br />They have the juice & when they see an opportunity to use it , then it is a lights-out done deal with the result in their favor.<br /><br />I always thought the big business/gov`t "thing" was nothing more than a wild conspiracy theory from some old hippie wack jobs.<br /><br />After experiencing the income trust body crushing first hand , I now know better.<br /><br />I never knew that the words "make it so" uttered by certain people in high places could be that powerful.<br /><br />Dr MikeDr Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915911929286615081noreply@blogger.com
