Who could have imagined that we'd be debating the merits of torture so long after Voltaire took up the Calas case.Rufushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762279210783841414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10166090.post-23510206256997829312007-02-19T06:00:00.000-08:002007-02-19T06:00:00.000-08:00Modern too.
