"Things to know" about torture...

I came across this the other day, it lists some basic facts about torture (ignore the video at the very top - I'm not sure what that is, an ad of some sort?). It indicates, like the Boston Globe article from our discussion in week 2, that people who attend church regularly are more likely to support torture. But this graphic also breaks down the statistics of torture support by political party - saying 49% of Republicans, 24% of Democrats and 35% of Independents polled agreed that "torture to gain important information from suspected terrorists is justified." The graphic notes that (according to Amnesty International) torture is more prevalent in G-20 nations. It also lists, among other things, some outdated torture devices that have been used in the past - this may not be pertinent to our discussion, but I found it interesting!
