Hmm how interesting that all your sources are american or from U.K. sources. I'm listening to french TV from time to time and they don't sayt the same things.

Whatever you do and whatever you says you'll always have people to agree or disagree with you. But in then end there's one thing where I'll always disagree and it's on the usefulness of a war.

You really think that torture is a thing only happening in Iraq?
