90% of Koreans Support Torture

According to this report via the Katolic Shinja, 90% of Koreans support torture:

The majority of Americans believe that the use of torture is justified for terrorism suspects, according to an Associate Press poll. The poll was taken in a number of different countries, showing a large gap in values between Americans and some European countries.

61 percent of Americans, 90 percent of South Koreans, and over 50 percent of citizens from France and Britain support the use of torture. On the other hand, the majority of people from Spain and Italy said that there were no circumstances that would justify such acts. Despite the support of torture, the majority of citizens in every country except the US said they are against secretly detaining prisoners for interrogation. About two thirds of Americans are in favor of that practice.

Using the liberals’ definition of torture wouldn’t soldiers in the ROK Army be considered to be tortured every day? Heck I have seen employees get slapped around here and if that employee got slapped around that way at GITMO it would be considered torture and on the front page of the NY Times. For the record I’m for roughing people up if it means saving US lives. I’m not for ripping out fingernails or hanging people up side down but if pushing someone around during interogation, intimidating them, making them listen to rap music all night, gets someone to talk then lets do it. Some how I don’t think giving someone a Koran, cable television, and a plate of cookies and milk will do much to get them to talk or save US lives.
