Hands Off Cain Secretary Sergio d’Elia heavily criticised the torture inflicted on Iraqi soldiers on behalf of coalition forces stating that the means could not justify the end even in the war against terrorism. d’Elia stated in a press release that is was only thanks to the freedom of press in the United states that the news of the torture had been able to come to light. “No news is given regarding those tortured in dictatorships, or illiberal and authoritarian regimes, that is because there is no freedom of press, and thus no inquiry and no impartial evidence.”
Democracies are not exempt from these practices” and proposals to regulate torture coming from civil rights champions such as Alan Dershowitz “not only reveal an underlying phenomenon but also an aberrant logic: the war on terror and security as a means justifying an end”.
“How many electric shocks can we inflict and to which parts of the body? How many degrees above or below zero can a prisoner be held at for the torture to be classed as acceptable, not excessive, but proportionate to legitimate defence?” is what is being asked.
"When we are able to save innocent human lives due to the fact that by a torturing a terrorist we are able to locate a hidden bomb, how many other bombs or human bombs will be given rise to through the barbarism inflicted by state torture?”. 
“The strength and security of a state,” concluded d’Elia, “lies in the limits we impose on ourselves, on our sense of justice, of revenge, of legitimate defence, and the limit in this case is set by the inviolableness of the prisoner.”
