What everyone seems to miss in this discussion is that democracy means
government by the people. If the people elect a government that not
only aproves of torture but makes systematic use of it or if said
government puts human beings in jail for years without a trial and
then the selfsame people proceed to reelect this government for
another four year term does not make it less of a democracy. The same
can be said of governments elected by the majority of its people in
places like Iran, Palestine and anywhere else the US of A disaproves
of.
