Interrogation In The Film Rendition

Decent Essays
After I watched the movie Rendition, I felt very sad and I thought about human life. Even I do not imagine integrations which include torture. I do not think any law gives right any agency to arrest anyone to this way. According to movies, It is immoral and against the law to arrest and disappears the person who board from South Africa to DC.CIA or any other authority cannot integrate anyone without solid proof. A CIA analyst Douglas moral did good job and release him. In my opinion any kind of torture is against law and humanity. Even though this kind of interrogation process is painful, government did not have solid evidence and release them. I think government has to pay their compensation for them. We have government agency and the court

    The use of torture was very prominent in finding Bin Laden but yielded little to no already known information. Although the film Zero Dark Thirty provides a captivating overview of the capture of Bin Laden, it is falsely represented to give viewers an inaccurate perspective surrounding the use of torture. To comprehend what most of the torture victims endured, it is important to understand what classifies as torture. According to Article 1 of the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment torture can be classified as, "any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is…

    The United States has been known to have turned suspected terrorist over to countries like Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco who are willing to use “aggressive interrogation” in effort to help retrieve “vital” information (Levinson, Shue, Weisburg, HDissent, 2003). Obama made an appeal to congress to release detainees from Guantanamo the number changing from a staggering 100+ to less than 21. Thirty-five of those released were never actually convicted of any crimes committed (Lamothe, 2016). That number fluctuated so dramatically and with 35 released without charges, that leaves some reasonable questions unanswered. Why were these men held for so long without any justifiable cause, without evidence?…

    At the same time the opponents of these methods were convinced that one individual could not be an organizer of so many terrorist plots and revealed their skepticism in relation to his claims. They stated that taking into consideration the types of tortures, which could be applied to an individual, there is never a guarantee that his confessions are true to life and were not made purely with the aim to stop tortures and remain alive. This argument makes everybody doubt as for effectiveness of tortures. “For instance, a torture victim deprived of his clothes will feel so “ashamed and humiliated and cold,” said retired FBI counterterrorism agent Dan Coleman, “he 'll tell you anything you want to hear to get his clothing back. There 's no value in it.”…

    The best Way to Deal with Terrorists Is it really necessary to torture or make people suffer just to get stuff that we need from them? After reading “The Case for Torture” by Dr. Michael Levin, I disagree with torturing terrorists to gain information. I am totally against with torture or punish terrorists because first, most terrorists are forced to act in the way they do, they have no power over their actions. Secondly, it is possible to transform the bad feelings inside them to a good one, I believe everyone deserves a second chance.…

    Strained positions for long hours, sleep deprivation and waterboarding, with the occasional punch or slap, may sound worth it in order to save thousands of innocent Americans lives from the ongoing war of terror. It is a known fact that the American government used the term “enhanced interrogation” loosely in order to cover up their questionable actions to get any little piece of information about any terrorist motives with torture. Enhanced interrogation has been described as systematic torture in order to obtain potential terrorist information. Even though the CIA get their information, the process behind on how they got it always remains confidential only for the government. Because of the confidentiality this causes a problem to the public and foreign relations.…

    In this essay I defend the nature of the balance of civil liberties, rights and torture by drawing upon Jeremy Waldron, Henry Shue and Jeff McMahan’s view on the morality of torture. Torture is the act of deliberately inflicting severe physical or psychological pain to an individual who is restrained and defenseless. Reasons for torture can include punishment, revenge, political re-education, deterrence, interrogation or coercion of the victim or a third party, or simply the sadistic gratification of those carrying out or observing the torture. In this paper I will argue that torture is not morally justified; torture ought not to be legalized or otherwise institutionalized even in the ticking time bomb scenario because the rights of the innocent…

    Unfortunately, however, different forms of inhuman and degrading treatment and punishment as well as torture are practised in all parts of the world, including highly industrialised and developed countries. Despite the fact that society is evolving, the effect of torture remains the same: such violations of human rights result in serious harm to the human being, to his physical and mental immunity, and requires a lot of effort to make it stop. Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) says: “No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment” . For many years international legal institutions have been developing, improving and consolidating different ways of resolving the problem. At…

    The significance of President Obama’s proposal of closing the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center could not be more delayed from both a moral and justice standpoint. A case in point is that the infamous detention center continues negatively to be seen as an inhumane facility that violated the human rights and lack of due process for detainees. On January 22, 2009, President Obama’s proposal of closing the detention facility in one year showed the slightest of promises to say the least. For example, the Obama Administration released approximately two-hundred forty detainees at the facility (Lennon, 2015). However, the Obama Administration’s release of two-hundred forty detainees was not enough to address the outrage from both the United States of America’s and most foreign countries’ moral accusation of the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center proposing various techniques of torture and lack of judicial due process for detainees.…
