This has come up over and over in my country. Should the USA torture prisoners. There are peope who strongly believe on both sides. I think the possibility of torturing a prisoner, just like the use of nuclear weapons, should always be a possibility. Lets face it, our enemies and friends already think we do it, and they are right.
The biggest concern I have is that we may torture those who do NOT have vital information. If someone is captured, and he/she is determined to be without a doubt an enemy, it is determined that he/she has vital essential information that can save allied lives, and it is determined that we need the information quickly, then the alternative of torture must be considered. the decision to torture or not to torture should be made on an individual bases at the highest levels of the military and civilian authority.
However, should it ever be proven that someone has been torturted who is not a proven enemy, and/or does not have vital information, then the person or persons responsible for ordering or allowing the torture should face criminal charges.
I feel that would make it a more level playing field. War is hell.

60 minutes just did a segment on mri brain scans that make it possible to read people minds. They think that it will be able to use here quickly and that will be a better way to get information. No lying that way. I think for now toucher should be allowed and restitution for those who are found to have innocent. You can't really hold people responsible for following orders or for following a bad lead because mistakes happen to every one. War is war.

60 minutes speaks crap. ALWAYS.
I study neuroscience. we can't even diagnose ADHD with MRI, yet 90% of the worlds methamphetamine goes to US children to TREAT them for ADHD. MRI certainly can't read deep thoughts or detect lies!!!!!!
I'm also ambivalent about this issue. However, at the end of the day.... I believe we need to respect human rights. The right to a fair trial based on available evidence.
Torture can't be used in a trial and error approach. i know war is war but, ahhh (sigh) perhaps I'm an idealist. At the same time, one man losing his liberties could save 1000 people. However, most of the people in charge of these operation aren't particularly bright. What kind of person signs up to torture people? If there is enough evidence, i guess it is justified.
big topic.
My lecturer wrote a really controvfersial article on this. He got fired. I half agreed with him. He specified 'situations' where it could be justified. I'm more inclined to agree with that. however, they do need to make stringent rules....in a parallel fasion to the stem cell/cloning debate... which we should talk about one day x

such a loaded topic. i love it.

Good topic. I think the possibility of torture in extreme circumstances has to be in the arsenal of weapons, even in the USA. The way I see it is, what if it is YOUR child being held by terrorists somewhere and they have the said they will kill your child (and others) in 24 hours. If you captured someone involved in that plot and believed they had knowledge that could save your child, would you do it? I know the answer for me personally would be yes.
There will be the risk that the person does not know enough info to solve the "case" so to speak, but in a time of war that will happen.

every solder is someones child. Here we will water board them or put panties on there head their they will electrocute you and chop off you head. These solders are our family and friends and these people are trying to kill them not in combat but with kids they strap bombs to and with car bombs. If you can prevent another 9/11 or a 100 soldiers being blown up by a car boomer please do.
