re: #201 Obdicut

So saying that Uday and Qussay would still be operating the torture rooms is sort of moot, unless the particular names of the people doing the torture is important for some reason.

There’s a difference. For example, you’d much rather be tortured in a country like Pakistan rather than a dictatorship like Q’Daffy run Libya. In Pakistan there’s a power structure, some sort of legal framework (no matter how flimsy), there are rules and procedures. Under a totalitarian dictatorship you are subject to the whims of the dictator. I know both suck but one sucks more than the other.
