you've pointed this out before - you fail to mention that Sharon has been proven innocent in the past... The charge is "Mr Sharon had command responsibility over the Christian Phalangist militia and could have predicted their rampage". No wonder he was aquitted before.

1) The guy says "Moderate physical pressure" the reporter writes "torture".
2) The fight against terrorism isn't "against your own people".
3) If there's good intelligence that there's a suicide bomber heading twards Tel-Aviv, and they catch someone in his cell that has info about it, as far as I'm concerned, they can use any means needed to stop that terrorist.
4) The very next paragraph: "Torture of any kind was outlawed last year by Israel's supreme court." - If someone does use torture, he's breaking the law and _will_ go to jail.
