Torture works at hurting people. That is what it is for, that is what is always has been for, that is what it always will be for. Everything else is just a way people try to justify things. "Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power." - George Orwell
