Moderate Arab...torturers
"As more videotapes emerge documenting the torture inflicted on numerous victims by Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahyan, a prince of the United Arab Emirates, the controversy is beginning to jeopardize the UAE's relationship with the United States, a country that absolutely loathes torture and demands real accountability for those who do it:". It will not jeopardize any relations with anything. One arms sale to UAE will calm the waters. And notice that none of the American press coverage of the matter say a word of the extent of the story among Arabs: on internet sites and email messages and in all manners of communication that are outside of the control of Arab oppressors.
