Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (02.01.06)
'Saudi king should step in to stop gouging of Indian worker’s eye' http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticle.asp?xfile=data/middleeast/2005/December/middleeast_December244.xml§ion=middleeast plus: a question on a claim by an Iranian newspaper on torturing Christian prisoners in the Kingdom, Saudi Prince Naif noted that these matters are internal and we do not allow anyone to talk about them, adding that not all sayings are true. Oh ... really ??? SAUDI ARABIA Persecution, prison and torture for Christians (profile) http://www.asianews.it/dos.php?l=en&dos=32&art=940 Torture and beheadings USCIRF commissioner Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention told White House aides that having Saudi Arabia on the State Department list is a high-priority item for evangelical Christians, according to Newsweek.

George W ,   Chicago IL   (02.01.06)
"If you beat on this guy long enough, he'll tell you he started the G--damn Chicago fire; now that does not necessarily make it f--- so!" -Nice Guy Eddie Bush, the IDF, and everyone else who's so gung ho about torture needs to take a reality check. Torture doesn't work.
5. Why Not Pay Off Those Who Try & Kill You?
Adina kutnicki ,   NJ   (02.01.06)
Business as usual among Israel's "leaders". Why not pay "ransom" to those trying their best to kill you? The fact that they didn't succeed - this time - is of no consequence. The State has a job to do. Next terrorist in line....

yossy hersahkop ,   n.y   (02.01.06)
jewish prisoners my bro was in jail and was not allowed to take his medication and the only bathroom was a hole in the floor so stop worring about arab terrorist when jews allso get this treatment
11. This is really, really funny!
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (02.01.06)
So when are the Palestinians going to pay the families of blown up Jews? A blown off arm, penis, legs, face, and so forth and so on. How about the ones with their brains splattered across an egged bus? Do they get compensation? I should think these people didn't have it half as bad, as the brain damaged Jews that they despise so much. I bet some of the dead jews would be happy to be alive, even without their testicles. It will be nice, when the Israeli's can collect, what is due to their families. So much for wishing! Does this mean Palestinians will be clamouring to get into Israeli prisons? I guess getting rich getting your butt kicked----is better than blowing yourself up for a lousy couple of thousand bucks. At least you get to spend the money for the effort at self mutilation.
12. Very sad
G ,   shomron   (02.01.06)
Its very sad you publish unfounded allegations. I highly doubt this ever happened. Where is the proof?
13. To #2
Alejandro ,   Chicago   (02.01.06)
I thought Israel is this big democracy... you really want to compare it to a brutal regime in KSA?!!? If Israel is this Democracy then this is a shame... if it is not better than Saudi Arabia, then you're right
14. #2 Just because Arabs are bad doesn't mean we should be too
David Rapoport ,   LA   (02.01.06)
Yes, Gabrielle, Arabs do some nasty things to people in their own backward countries. So does that mean it's okay when Jews do bad things? Does this fact somehow excuse Israel for occasionally abusing Arabs? No. Should we ignore civilized Israel's minor failings because the Arabs fail far more miserably? No. Your 'Eye for an Eye' reasoning is very simplistic and primitive, Gabrielle. Perhaps both you and King Abdullah have spent too much time reading Leviticus.
15. YAY! Another 2 million for terrorist attacks-idiots

DACON9 ,   JUSTICE OR MERCY   (02.02.06)
If Israel is this Democracy then this is a shame. EXPLAIN YOURSELF EXACTLY WHATS A SHAME? EXACTLY WHAT DOES DEMOCRACY HAVE TO DO WITH STUPIDITY? EXACTLY WHERE IN ANY DEMOCRATIC CHARTER WILL YOU FIND WHERE IT SAYS TO COMPENSATE KILLERS , TERRORIST ANIMALS ? WHAT EXACTRLY IS TORTURE? IF USA DID THE SAME TO THE SAUDIA ARAbians AND PREVENTED 9/11 YOU WOULD CALL IT TORTURE...BECAUSE IT CAN ONLY BE CALLED TORTURE **BEFORE THE FACT** AFTER THE FACT IT IS CALLED **JUSTICE.*** LIVED WITH THAT AMIGO
