and what have they described as the worst way to go, aside from being tortured for 1 week before being killed?

I think burning would be worse. Most people who die in fires die of suffocation (from smoke inhalation) rather than from actually, physically burning up. I think freezing to death would probably be rather less painful - it's certainly less violent. One would lose consciousness gradually and just drift off.\n\nThe worst way to go? That would depend on so many different factors, depending on the specific circumstances, the fears and anxieties of the dying person. Your torture scenario is an interesting one, but is complicated by the fact that a lot of people say, at least, that when they were tortured, they wanted nothing more than to be killed, to put them out of their misery. \n\nMaybe the best answer to the question is the most general one: that everyone has a slightly different version of his/her "best death," and that the circumstances around the individual event will play a huge part in how much one suffers. It's probably not something any of us can predict.

So Saddam tortured people and now it's right for us to do it?\n\nAmerica lost her moral high-ground in the eyes of the world and it isn't about the gay marriage issue.  Get this through your head...WE ARE TORTURING PEOPLE BY POLICY.  It wasn't a pair of PFC nit-wits at Abu Ghraib, it was POLICY.  90 suspects have died in US detention due to interrogation "techniques".  The House Majority leader said it was "A-OK to crush a child's testicles to prevent terror attacks."\n\nThen we have the Sergeant Major of SOCOM (Special Forces) testifying before Congress saying that torture has NEVER in his long experience gained any useful information.  Suspects will lie and say anything people want to hear to get it to end, or they will bite their lip until they die.  Good enough for me, let's please END THIS BLIGHT ON OUR REPUBLIC.

American and Canadian Governments are worst in torturing they citizens. However, they have UN in their control and do not allow the investigation be down by UN from JAILS! They, maliciously, shout that there is TORTURES in other countries to cover up their own crimes. I do NOT mean that in other countries like England, Iran and Iraq there is not torture. WHAT I mean is that they never admit and apologized from victims of Tortures, like me. I fact I was tortured continuously by the Canadian police, because I complaint against the first Torture! \n\nSEE MY WEBSITE for my Affidavit, that how Nine members of Toronto Police tortured me:\n\n\n\nTORTURE IN CANADA\nhttp://www.geocities.com/doworkout/section11.html     \n\nList of Corrupt Judges and Lawyers involved in my actions  \nhttp://www.geocities.com/doworkout/judgtable.html\n\nList of corrupt Police Officers in Toronto & montreal\nhttp://www.geocities.com/doworkout/pig.html\n\nCanadians' Crimes \nhttp://www.geocities.com/doworkout/canada1.html\n\nList of corrupt judges and lawyers in Canada\nhttp://www.geocities.com/doworkout/1dictionary.html\n\nCorruption in Justice System in Canada\nhttp://www.geocities.com/doworkout/80dictionary.html\n\nLAWSUIT v.

Standard tactics are to convince some poor slob to die while killing innocent people (including children) in the most sadistic way possible.\n\nVery brave, very noble.

cheapest/fastest way is to kill someone & use the body. Of course then I tend to look for easy answers at times :)

If you are really set on finding out. I would suggest you go for burning. This is due to the fact that it is rarely the actual burning that kills you, but the breathing in of smoke and fumes which kills you long before you roast. Interestingly enough, it was common in days when heretics were burned alive for them to have a small barrel of gunpowder tied round their neck which blew up and finished them off before the smoke/flames did.\n\nFreezing alive will take far, far, longer, until hypothermia sets in and sends you unconscious. Depends to some extent, of course, where you intend to get frozen and what you are wearing - in the butchers cabinet, or naked in the Antarctic, for example

If we took the gloves off over there,i would go tomorrow.The problem is all the sniveling on the home front, about "torture"and "terrorist rights".Screw 'em.They are barbarians,and must dealt with as such.Why should we play by rules,and the enemy does not.?

Comparative sufferring is beside the point.  Torture was reprehensible but NOT UNEXPECTED from the likes of Saddam Hussein.  Torturous abuse at Abu Ghraib was reprehensible and NOT TO BE EXPECTED from the beacon of human rights, dignity, and respect that is my beloved United States of America.

Hell\n\nThe devil temps terrorist with 72 virgins, but when they get there, the terroists has to deal with 72 yapping women who want him to buy them each 72 pairs of designer shoes, give each of the 72 virgins 72 kids each, and then the terrorist has to deal with each of the 72 virgins partents!!!  He's been sucker jumped into a living hell ... so much to do, no time to enjoy love, just more and more bickering of women!!!\n\nI bet it's even worse because those terroists seem to be the biggest biggits when it comes to respecing female dignaty ... so this probably amplifies their hellish experience! Ha-Ha

Stricter laws against such acts. The death penalty for people involved and more camps like camp-X.\n\n It is a terrible thing to say but that seems the only way to deal with these killers.....We should open forced labour camps for them, that would put them off surely?

they are the gang that couldnt shoot straight. They criticize GW at every turn yet have not mentioned any plan they themselves would implement in his absense...well the only plan they stuck by for about a week was the idea of cutting and running from Iraq.

Hang him up by his "your know whats" and let him see how it feels to be tortured like he has tortured so many other people or had them tortured.  He should be ashamed of himself and his family.  Thank you for your question.\n\nThe UN is designed to be a part of history as referred to Bibically.  It is a system that is to be set up before Jesus' return.  Read your Bible please.

I for one almost gagged when I heard he was coming to the colorado supermax...then i read a list of other infamous prisoners there, yikes!  remind me  to never drive past the town of florence lol.  I absolutely think the US messed up by giving him life.  He didn't even want to live and he is only a detriment to himself and society so it's a lose-lose situation as I see it.  lol i'm going to go find a fluff q now! :p

I think he had a horrible childhood and became mentally ill towards the end. I mean the control had something to do with it but some of the things this guy did were unspeakable. I can't figure out why the people that did his killings and tortures forced themselves to do it unless they enjoyed it too. I know you do what your leader tells you but I would think all it would have taken was a bunch of people to just blow his a$$ away .

it's already being done.  at least 44 suspects have died while in the tender mercies of our army prisons.  and that's just the ones we know about.  who knows how many have been torured to death in those secret renditions to torture prone allied countries?

Spending a week in hell is worse.  Hell is worse than anything.

I feel that torture is inhumane and disgusting - I don't understand the mentality behind those who seek pleasure or have any desire to perform torture on another human being.\n\nThat said, I also believe in the protection of people's rights from infringement by others - and being blown up by a nuclear bomb is a HUGE friggen infringement.\n\nTHAT said it would be reasonable to save a city of people by beating the living crap out of the derranged person who finds it somehow religiously-excusable to blow up some 1 million people.  I don't know what kind of "god" people are worshipping on this planet, but the God who I believe in wouldn't condone the murder of anyone for "his" cause... but I also think that God wouldn't want to leave His followers defenseless against terroritsts/bad people in gerneral so I'd promote this torture under the "self defense" defense - I hope that's not a stretch?  I feel partially hypocritical for that but I've been awake for nearly 24 hours so perhaps my path of logic makes no sense.\n\nLet me get some sleep and maybe I can sort out my feelings a bit better for reading purposes.  Thanks for the interesting thought though!
