The
healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into
torturers”
-- Carl Gustav Jung

All mankind... being all
equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty
or possessions.

| The
right of an individual to refuse to kill, to torture, or to participate in the
preparation for the nuclear destruction of humanity seems to me to be fundamental.

| The
cost in human lives and suffering is so high that we all have to work to end violence
and oppression once and for all. We have to proclaim that every human being is
equal, in dignity, in freedom —and, as the first article of the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights states,
we have to live “in a spirit of brotherhood.”
-- Federico Mayor |
 | If
you don't want to be beaten, imprisoned, mutilated, killed or tortured then you
shouldn't condone such behavior towards anyone, be they human or not.

An injustice
committed against anyone is a threat to everyone.
-- Montesquieu
If cruelty is no longer declared unlawful, but instead is applied as a matter
of policy, it alters the fundamental relationship of man to government. It destroys
the whole notion of individual rights. The Constitution recognizes that man has
an inherent right, not bestowed by the state or laws, to personal dignity, including
the right to be free of cruelty. It applies to all human beings, not just in America
-- even those designated as 'unlawful enemy combatants.' If you make this exception
the whole Constitution crumbles.
- - Alberto J. Mora, former Navy General
Counsel
Whoever
fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster.
And when you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
-- Friedrich
Nietzche
