Default Where do you stand on this government interrogation technique?

Is Using A Minotaur To Gore Detainees A Form Of Torture? | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

I was watching this and realized that I'm not certain where I stand on this particular interrogation technique. Sure, I probably disagree with keeping a person chained on his feet for 5 days straight, but enhanced bovine interrogation techniques have used for a long time.

That's a tough one, Funky... I think it's cruel and inhumane to the people, but I'm sure that inhumanity is outweighed by the joy the minotur received.

I think the more important question is, why aren't they using Centaurs too? I hear they like to torture people too, and I have one I can lend the FBI if they need it.

Equality for Half-Human Creatures!

EDIT: I love the ending, after the clip from the Minotaur's audio book.

That's not enhanced bovine interrogation techniques, this is Brazen bull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A complete colonoscapy exam including the wonderful tasting liquid should be used instead.

Well, would you want people using minotaurs on soldiers from your country?

What a funny article--I love The Onion.

Peace,
