| Message | We can not understand the TNP you voted against the alcohol because of the effects it has on the mind. But you are in favor of torture. So we can only assume that for the TNP mind damage is forbidden unless it is done by someone of the government in pursue of what might be called "national goals". Such totalitarian measures should not be endorsed by a party that think of democracy as society goal not and idea. We ask, with humility, to the TNP to rethink their priorities. |

| Message | It is apparent that we need to clarify our position on this issue. We would only allow such interrogation techniques to be used in the very worst situations where our national security is at risk. This is not something to be used on ordinary criminals. Why, exactly, should the government be concerned with the safety and well-being of someone who wishes to destroy us? Besides, the sorts of individuals who would threaten our nation are already severely mentally damaged, and beyond any help. |
