And cutting out tongues isn't a violation of the human rights charter? In my opinion, by instilling the tortures you describe we become like Brady. He caused intense pain for his own pleasure. We'd be doing the same. We'd be torturing for pleasure. How does that make us any better than him? I think your views are coloured slightly by the fact his victims were children. What if he prayed on men and women? Would that lessen the intensity of your revenge?
