Listening to that doctor from Bahrain, my first thought was why there was no law to restrict such action or at least control the interrogators. My second thought with all the anti terror laws introduced into this country, have we lost our democratic rights and don't yet know?
It is strange and funny that many interrogators take up religion and seek redemption when they give up interrogating.
