The debate surrounding the use of torture has been reignited by the disclosure of Bush-era memos outlining the harsh interrogation practices utilized. Techniques involved slapping, waterboarding, sleep deprivation, stress positions, cramped confinement, "walling" (in which detainees were slammed into a flexible wall), forced nudity, and placing a suspect in a small box with insects. President Obama believes that the tactics reflect America's loss of its "moral bearings," but a cadre of political commentators and former Bush administration officials insist that the techniques should be permissible either because they don't actually constitute torture, or because they elicit valuable information or both.
Do you think that torture is ever justified? |
