In Diario de Cuba, a reader comments on an essay by Carlos Alberto Montaner:
“Consult the many testimonies published by Cubans who were
victims of procedures used by State Security to obtain information and you will
realize two things: 1) that procedures less serious than those used by the CIA
in its interrogations are characterized as torture; and 2) that the State
Security agents that have used those procedures deny systematically that such
procedures constitute torture.”
Montaner, in
his essay:
“Supposedly, the prevailing values in the United States are
those that consecrate compassion and respect for the integrity of the
individual. One expects fascism, Nazism, or communism, which justify anything
in the service of their bloody utopias, to resort to torture, but not a liberal
democracy.”
