Is Using a Minotaur to Gore Detainees a Form of Torture?

Friday, 28th August 2009

Well is it? This is one of the great moral issues of our time. Happily, (after the jump) there's a panel of experts available to debate the matter.

The awful thing is that this is horribly close to being a verbatim report from some ghastly cable TV "news" shoutfest.

Thank god for the Onion, proving once again that the "fake" news is often better than the so-called "real" news. At least it's entertaining, not enraging.
