No. He attempted to steal a poster from a hotel. Are you saying that everyone that steals from a hotel (towels, soap etc) should be imprisoned and tortured? In America, a first-time theft usually won't even land you in jail.

You are asking how many foreigners are detained by US and tortured as a matter of US policy? Not very many. Foreigners are routinely detained in North Korea and tortured.

So torture = "various incidents or health complications"? You are simply making excuses for evil.

What, exactly, did the media tell me? Are you disputing the basic facts that they detained and tortured an American college student to death?

Otto's case is not the same as "prisoners all around the world." As already mentioned, if you steal a Snickers bar in America, you do not end up a drooling comatose vegetable.

And the only reason you’re not upset is because you were born braindead, much like the condition Otto was left in.
