Oh, the scandals..



Some things you just hope never to see happen. Among these are the several scandals that arise each year, where those in authoritative positions stir up controversy beyond belief.

And just yesterday, another arose.

Britain has allegedly, in the past, knowingly handed over Afghan detainees as "routine" (Really? Come ON) interrogation, and yesterday, London judges were handed a a huge stack of papers(thousands, even) claiming this.

Ok. This is absolutely ridiculous. Prisoner or bureaucrat, guilty or innocent, nobody deserves to be tortured as a method of interrogation. That is NOT the way it goes. You prove someone guilty by way of unequivocal evidence, not by forcing them. And I don't mean to be so.. abrupt here, but DUH.

So what now?

Really, we can only wait and see. If there's justice to be had, we only hope that justice is served. Because if these detainees were indeed tortured as a method of interrogation, then they did NOT receive justice in the fairest way possible. And fairness is any government's job to achieve (not to say that they all achieve it, anyways).

Anyways, we'll follow the story, and fill you guys in when there's any new news!

Check back regularly!
