The 9 Christian militia members would implicate their mothers, fathers, kids and acquaintances ...

... if they were waterboarded. That doesn't mean that all their mothers, fathers, kids and acquaintances are involved. It just means that you can get anyone to say anything if you torture them.

Why is it so hard for some people to understand this?

They don't want to understand this do they?

1. People see torture work on TV, so they think torture works in real life.

TV is powerful and everyone is potentially susceptible.

2. Ah, hell...you wouldn't even have to torture them.

The first thing they had to do when they got the Hutaree 9 in custody was to issue them clean underwear, I have no doubt. :rofl:

3. Can we please find out?

4. As it is, even without torture, they have already implicated Jesus.

With torture, they'd probably implicate the Antichrist.

9. Torture only works to bring out "confessions" that supports totalitarian rule.

Torture is used to control the populace through FEAR, not to develop any useful information.
