Asked if a confession obtained "by applying psychological, emotional and physical pressure" was "valid and considered credible according to Islam," Mesbah-Yazdi replied: "Getting a confession from any person who is against the Velayat-e Faqih ("Guardianship of the Islamic Jurists", or the regime of Iran's mullahs) is permissible under any condition." The ayatollah gave the identical answer when asked about confessions obtained through drugging the prisoner with opiates or addictive substances.
"Can an interrogator rape the prisoner in order to obtain a confession?" was the follow-up question posed to the Islamic cleric.
Mesbah-Yazdi answered: "The necessary precaution is for the interrogator to perform a ritual washing first and say prayers while raping the prisoner. If the prisoner is female, it is permissible to rape through the vagina or anus. It is better not to have a witness present. If it is a male prisoner, then it's acceptable for someone else to watch while the rape is committed."
This reply, and reports of the rape of teen male prisoners in Iranian jails, may have prompted the following question: "Is the rape of men and young boys considered sodomy?"
Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi: "No, because it is not consensual. Of course, if the prisoner is aroused and enjoys the rape, then caution must be taken not to repeat the rape."
THIS is torture, you miserable bastards; being directed by and justified by Ahmadogcrap's spiritual advisor. You know, the President of Iran? The election Obama didn't want to 'interfere' in, so he could better talk to the mullahs?
He'll bravely screw over Honduras, but say harsh words to Iran? Too upsetting to the muslim world.

I wish I could say that I'm surprised. Obama probably thinks rape is perfectly okay. And why not? He thinks killing babies is just fine....is it so much of a stretch to assume his moral ground is a bit uneven? There is no telling what Obama finds "acceptable" behavior. Scary.
Acceptable behavior is that which advances the cause. Unacceptable behavior strengthens the opposition or moves matters farther from the goal.
If these views on torture are the views of our main opponent in the world-wide struggle for values, then who are we to have a contrary view? For the left to insist we have a morality based view of torture that is not consistent with the mullahs they do not wish to anger, then they are behaving hypocritically.
