WikiLeaks cables: India accused of systematic use of torture in Kashmir
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/16/wikileaks-cables-indian-torture-kashmir
This article is about documents leaked by wikileaks about torture in India. The indian government condones torture by security forces against the islamist militants of Kashmir. The international committee of the red cross (ICRC) has done research on this for years and reported over 600 cases of torture including beatings, electric schocks and sexual cases. US diplomats in Delhi were briefed by the ICRC and reported it to the US government.
In spite of my pro torture arguments in class, I am against this sort of torture. This torture is based on religion and even used on civilians and innocent people. I only agree with torture when it involves a terrorist who for example knows te location of a nuclear bomb which will kill 100.000 people.
I say, devide Kashmir into a islamic and hindoest part, the islamic can be incorparated or united with Pakistan and the hindoest part can join India. Problem solved!?

Spending cuts will rise in absolute child poverty
Spending cuts 'will see rise in absolute child poverty'
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/dec/16/spending-cuts-rise-absolute-child-poverty/print
This article is about government spending cuts and the effect on child poverty. There is a big discussion about the consequenses of these spending cuts, whether or not these cuts will leed to an increase in child poverty. Government officials deny that whereas research economists and child activists say that the government program will push 200.000 children into poverty. Both sides disagree on the indicators of poverty.
Of course child poverty is a bad thing. Child poverty inhibits the cultivation and development of children. Nevertheless I agree with what the treasury spokesman said, that the cutting back on welfare is to incentivise work and remove people from getting stuck on welfare. I believe the same thing is happening in the Netherlands with the 'WAJONG'. The difference in welfare benifits and wages are so small that people rather stay at home for almost the same amount of money and I am strongly!!!! against that!!
please let me no how you feel about this topic.
