Of Course, One Must Keep Torture in Perspective

Yeah, the US waterboarding is bad, but it's nothing compared to what goes on in the Middle East. ABC uncovers incredible torture by a member of the royal family of the UAE. It is one of the worst things I have ever seen. The sheikh, brother of the crown prince, takes sadistic pleasure in inflicting genital mutilation, electrocution, and other torture on his victim. He also runs over his victim with an SUV and salts his wounds.

The victim's crime: Overcharging the sheikh by $5000 on a grain shipment for his estate.

If the US is trying to clear its own name and show that we do not support torture, what should our response to the UAE be? Other things to keep in mind - homosexuality is still a capital crime in the UAE.
