In the Vietcong death camps how would they torture and excecute Americans?

At least one technique is "drawing and Quartering'. This was a technique inspired by the Europeons, ironnicly. It invloves disemboling the victim while they still live and setting the intestines on fire as they watch. The eurpoeans would then cut the body to pieces, but the vietcong often saw higher value in leaving a recognizble corpse.\n\nBeheading also occured, altough the North Vietnamses regulars were fond of simply shooting thier victims by firing squad.

You are right. It is either kill or be killed. I mean, for some people, talking can do. But, for others, there are  no other means. If they want to kill you for no other reason then hating you because you are an American and they come after you, you just can't stand there. You got to fight! You got more reasons to live then they have reasons for killing you. That is how we keep America safe.

Unit 731 was located at the POW camp in Tientsin, China. Horrendous experiments, including vivesection on unanaesthized prisoners, were performed. The unit's primary mission was biological weapons development. Most of the victims of this program were Chinese prisoners; however, there is much to suggest that American POW's held in the camp were also experimented on. \n\nAfter the war, many of the doctors at Unit 731, men who were every bit as guilty of evil as Mengele, escaped prosecution for war crimes by agreeing to help the US start its biological weapons program. So, just as Werner Von Braun, the Nazi scientist who was responsible for the deaths of at least 300,000 British due to his creation, the V-2 missle, escaped prosecution to jumpstart America's missile development and ultimately to become the father of NASA; so too then, Dr. Ishii, the leader of Unit 731, a man who is responsible for the deaths of a few hundred thousand Chinese prisoners and a few thousand American POW's, not to mention permanently contaminating regions of China that to this day have drug-resistant superstrains of plague and other diseases...Dr. Ishii escaped justice with the help of the US to help jumpstart the American biological weapons program. And, to this day, the Japanese still honour the memorial erected in Dr. Ishii's memory.

I say let the torture begin.It may sound cruel to some but sometimes extreme measures have to be taken to save lives. Terrorists have no regard for human life and should be treated with that in mind.\n\n\n There are ways to make someone talk, not all involve physical pain.\nForcing a terrorist to view Ted Kennedy in a speedo should do the trick.

The real answer I do not know but let me speculate.\n\nChina...if you burn their flag you probably go to prison and they don't have any other flags to burn,\n\nIran...if you burn their flag you probably get beheaded or hung but if you burn an American flag you probably get a raise or new better job.\n\nCuba...hmmm probably just prison

In the past, governments used torture chambers and flogging.  Now, they use psychiatrists and drugs.  It's basically the same racket though.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that Americans do torture people from time to time.  I think it's mostly in retaliation for the atrocities committed by the enemy, and although I think it's human nature and understandable for our people to do things like that, I also think it's important for our soldiers to try to hold themselves to a higher standard than the Muslim animals who perpetrate such acts against us.  It's hard not to exact revenge against pigs like them, but it's important that our servicemen and women try to adhere to a higher, more honorable standard  than the enemy.  It's what distinguishes us from the so-called "people" we are fighting against.

If your leaders approve of torture (I assume you're from the middle east somewhere), there's no need to explain it.  We've seen videos of beheadings, and torture carried out by your kind and most of us get the message.  My leaders don't believe in torture, but they won't back down from a fight either.  Besides if putting the screws to a militant islamic terrorist saves just one airborne ranger wouldn't it be worth it?

This is what the Washington Post says:\n\nA U.N. anti-torture panel today issued a rebuke of Bush administration counter-terrorism policies today, calling for the closing of the Guantanamo detention facility in Cuba and a halt to the transfer of suspected terrorists to countries where they may face torture.\n\n...\n\nThe U.N. committee, made up of nine experts, urged the Bush administration to establish a federal law criminalizing torture and to eliminate some of its most controversial interrogation techniques, including sexual humiliation, the use of dogs to induce fear and "water boarding," a practice that involves simulating the sensation of near-drowning.

What happens when an innocent family member is taken in the night, brought to a jail, incarcerated, perhaps beaten and starved, perhaps sodomized with a baton... perhaps when he gets out, he is not feeling the love for the Americans, perhaps his family isn't real happy either. I think part of the insurgency is revenge...BUT IF we left, this would continue on other levels.

U.S. involvement in Vietnam did not begin in the 1960's or even the 1940's, but in 1845. That's right -- 1845. In that year the people of Da Nang arrested a French missionary bishop for breaking local laws. The U.S. commander of "Old Ironsides" (the U.S.S. Constitution) landed U.S. Navy and Marines in support of French efforts to reclaim their missionary. Mad Jack Percival, the ship's captain, fired into the city of Da Nang, killing 3 dozen Vietnamese, wounding more, and taking the local mandarins hostage. He then demanded that the Catholic Bishop be freed in exchange for his hostages. The Vietnamese were unimpressed. They refused his demand and waited. "Mad Jack" got tired of waiting, released his hostages, and sailed away leaving the Bishop behind.\n\nDuring WW11, US and Vietnam fought against the Japanese. After the end of World war, Ho Chi Minh asked the Americans to honor their commitment to independence, citing the Atlantic Charter and the U.N. Charter on self-determination.\nHowever, by the end of the war, the U.S. government had begun to redirect its foreign policy from the wartime goal of the liberation of all occupied countries and colonies to the postwar anti-communist crusade, which became the Cold War. \nAmerican policy supported General Charles de Gaulle and his anti-communist "Free French." De Gaulle aimed to restore the glory of France, which meant the return of all former French colonies. U.S. relations with the Vietnamese turned sour. President Truman refused to answer letters or cables from Ho. Instead, the U.S. began to ship military aid to the French forces in Indochina.\nAccording to international agreement, Vietnam was to be temporarily divided into north and south, with free elections to take place nationwide in 1956. Even before the French were out, the U.S. was moving in.\n\nFrom there on the US involvement in Vietnam increased and so called vietnam war started.

Usually in Africa...  But in Vietnam it was done when N Vietnam regimes pulled in. Did you ever hear of the killing fields?  Kids were massacring people after we pulled out of Vietnam.   Millions died.

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 should be shot in the guts and left to die a slow death

Turn water in to wine, raise a few dead people, then piss off the government enough to stick you on a gigantic wooden "t" to make an example of you.\n\nAre you kidding me?!?!

Good point about 'liberate them from the Germans just so we could be their dictators'.  Harrysfuture and a few other need to think about that concept a bit more.  If someone saved me from drowning, then asked me to murder someone, I wouldn't be obligated to help them.  \n\nThe French got a bad rap because a few war hungry Americans decided to run a smear campaign.  They figured since they couldn't bully France into a war,  they would shame them.  Call into question their loyalty and state that they 'owe' us and we could get Americans to believe that we're entitled to unquestioned allegiance.  Start talking about what a group of pusses the French are and we get our collective testosterone pumping.  We look like the tough guys who are going to save the world again.  Make them look bad so that we can look better.
