Torture in prisons is kind of like saying sex is a brothel…if there is no system of accountability…like a free press etc…forget it…hot bamboo under the fingernails. It is hard enough to keep police types from being brutal when they are closely watched…I mean…what kind of personality would say..”hey…I want to be a prison guard in Egypt”.

Ain’t gonna be Mother Teresa.
