Default Did Winston Churchill torture Nazi spys as Britain was being bombed?

They didn't, and they must have lost the war, right? Torture isn't usually about getting information. It's usually about terrorizing and punishing the enemy. That's why you "hope" they did.

I'm glad American has no Churchills. Just Texes and Indy Cougs and Johnny Lingos. Real men of mettle and character who will pull us through the darkness to the light.

Even jackals and hyenas wear white clothing.

Why would you hope they tortured people? There is something fundamentally wrong with you. You should have written "I and hell hope so."
