Torture: Is It Ever Acceptable?

(1/6) > >>

injest:
I think about this a lot. At one time I thought it would be impossible for us (USA) to use torture. I was wrong.

ifyoucantfixit:
          NO NO NO A THOUSAND TIMES NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  It is immoral
  It doesen't work. 
  It wins us a thousand times more enemies than we have already
  Its impractical, because you can never believe the information is true..or something
  that was manufactured in order to stop the torture.
  But:   I think most of all It starts a slippery slope toward the worst kind of inhumane
  being, we will become if we do it.  
  Also It will leave our position very tenable, in case any of our people are confiscated..
  If we are known as torturers, it will leave the door open for all the people in the     
  world to  perform those activities , and retaliate in kind.

injest:
studies have shown it is not reliable...yet we still hear about people in OUR government wanting to do it.

David In Indy:
Absolutely NO! Never is torture appropriate! NEVER!

I can't believe there are some Americans (and Europeans too) who feel torture is okay. I thought we were above these kinds of tactics. Apparently not.

Jess, I think you may have opened up a huge can of worms with this question, but I applaud you for having the courage! Remember my "Death Penalty" thread?  :laugh:


Run it on up the flagpole and let's see if anyone salutes it.  :)
