In the video “The Plight of Afghanistan’s Child Water Carriers” by Zarf Nazar and the article “The Plight of Afghanistan’s Child Water Carriers” by Sayeaed Jan Sabwoon both explain this problem even though they have many similarities and differences. There are many similarities between the video “The Plight of Afghanistan’s Child Water Carriers” by…

The debate regarding the ethical acceptance of torturing a person in the War on Terrorism is a difficult decision/stance to take. It fluctuates throughout our society. Even those who have strong spirituals belief may sway when it comes to making the final choice of to torture or not to torture. My opinion is that if you commit the crime you must accept the punishment; but torture. Well, I believe that when a person is tortured they are likely not to confess the truth. They may paint a…

Torture is by its very nature, a touchy subject. The act of extorting information through pain strips a person of their inalienable dignity. Because of this the subject should not be taken lightly. Therefore it is important however to think logically about what torture is doing. A hypothetical situation it can make this easier to depict. Since it is such a heavy decision to harm a human being the long term effects must be considered. Also the legitimacy of the information must also be considered…

Do you know how serious heinous crimes are throughout the U.S.?! And how many people get away with it?! It’s hard to get an answer out of someone that may be responsible for the crime, so I feel as if torture should defiantly be considered as a tool of interrogation.

Before. Waterboarding is a form of torture predominantly used during a war. It’s a method of interrogation used on detainees that forces them to provide answers/speak the truth. This form of barbaric torture involves having a detainee being restrained and strapped to an inclined board or platform. A cloth is used to cover the detainee’s face and water is then poured onto the inclined face and into the prisoner’s mouth or nose. The technique simulates the sensation of drowning without suffering…

If we use torture tactics we could prevent more major terrorist attacks. Torture is the easiest way to get information out of terrorist. The CIA would only use torture methods on Al Qaeda leaders in order to get information that may prevent future attacks. Personally I believe that these torture methods are justified because of what they do to POW’s overseas. 59% of the American society support the CIA’s methods according to new polls conducted by telephone calls.(Adam Goldman reports on…

Torture is legal for two main reasons. The first reason is The Bush Administration was able to use the method of torture because they proved that it was enhanced interrogation.

Torture can be justified because of…
