This so-called ill treatment and torture in detention centers

“This so-called ill treatment and torture in detention centers, stories of which were spread everywhere among

the people, and later by the prisoners who were freed … were not, as some assumed, inflicted methodically, but

Short of holding a gun to every MBTi’s head and marching them to the polls, this is impossible. But then again,

not even 100% is enough:

“That is a step toward withdrawal (although precise numerical ratios between election turnout and likelihood or

speed of withdrawal are impossible to specify). “
