| Message | Herr Speaker, And what if the terrorist that has placed a suit-case dirty bomb in the city of Ost and he will not give up the location just by talking? If that is the case, I believe you'd be sponsoring terrorism. |

| Message | Apparently, the DKP believe that using torture means that a suspect will talk and if so, tells the truth. Besides, when do you call a suspect a terrorist ? Or do you trust an official of the security forces to be the judge of that ? No, there are other more civilized ways to question suspects. Heinrich Bauer MAB Frationsvorsitzender |
