I think they would all be keen to know.
What alarmed me here was the story of the kid tortured in Kuwait because of accidental inclusion on the list.
The US and other democratic, ostensibly āfreeā nations have been supporting torture in these regimes, which is akin to supporting terrorism itsā self, and definitely undermines any moral authority they hope to have or claims to even being āfreeā states at all.
Torture is entirely ineffective means for getting information, besides that it is āserial killerā level psychopathy and taints every organization directly or indirectly authorizing it.
Beware - just asking will probably land you a spot on the list.

Umm. Did you miss the entire first decade of this century?
I am afraid you missed the meaning of the statement.
āThe US [has] been supporting torture in these regimes, which is akin to supporting terrorism itsā self, and definitely undermines any moral authority they hope to have or claims to even being āfreeā states at all.ā
Noting āthey hope to haveā or āthey claim to haveā is not equivalent to āI believe they haveā.
Do they claim to have? Most certainly. And this is respected currency among these nations, including between the US and England.
That does not mean that currency literally has any value or is set for a collapse. But that they operate as if it is currency at the higher levels, anyway, that is definitely sure.
Even North Korea could be said to āhope to haveā or āclaim to haveā freedom, without imbibing the person noting this is saying something completely different or even stating their own perspective of such claims.
And you did, there, exclude Great Britain, which is just as in the rut as the US in these regards, and I definitely intended to say so.
Though, you guys do tend to be more inclined, at least, against terrorism, if the drama Worricker is any way representative of your wider held opinions there.
I didnāt miss that meaning, but you seem to have missed one of the major news stories over the last 10 years. The US has been doing a bit more than merely āsupportingā torture in various third-party regiemes. The US has been balls-deep in conducting torture, itself.
Which doesnāt negate your point, although it does significantly amplify it.
