Do you want to torture someone, but can't find any good leg irons at Wal-Mart? Try Smith & Wesson: Because guns aren't the only way to kill people!
Torturing in America's Name in Syria ( And Guantanamo Bay, Egypt, Saudi, etc). How are other countries that don't send troops helping us out in the "War on Terror", you ask?
