British Court Rules Against Evidence Gained in Torture

LONDON, Dec. 8 - Thrusting itself into the middle of a stormy international debate, Britain's highest court declared today that evidence obtained through torture - no matter who had done the torturing - was not admissible in British courts.

Jeez, don't you love it? In today's world, taking a position against torture is viewed as "thrusting (oneself) into the middle of a stormy international debate." Newspeak reigns supreme in the American media.

Much like the Intelligent Design clusterfuck, there is no real debate on this issue. There is reality and there's a whole mess of deluded fools who think they can have it both ways if they just manage to bullshit and bloviate hard enough.
