----------------------------------
I'm going to jump right into this debate, as many topics are being brought up and discussed amongst the current affairs section of the forum it has gotten to a point where they are stating that a lot of the attacks on these cities are forms of terrorism and that individuals from different groups of rebels are pointed at for the cause of the attacks.
So my topic for this debate which states;
Is torture an acceptable tool in the interrogation of terrorists?
Things to consider if you favour torture as an acceptable tool;
- Needing information from terrorists can be time-sensitive. Which means that those interrogating the individual need to know all detail regarding the terrorist attack or a potential one.
- Some may claim that torture is right as those who have done a terrorist attack deserve more punishment for the lives they've taken
- Torture is sometimes more humane than what the terrorist could/would do to soldiers when captured.
Things to consider if you are against torture as an acceptable tool;
- Some experts say that torture is not practical nor is it effective.
- Those who are terrorist may construe the truth and may have an alternative objective
- Most interrogators have a hard time keeping psychologically sound when partaking in challenging activities during interrogation
- Those who are interrogators are perceived as evil, and has a ever-lasting effect on public and international opinion.
I will rest the debate into your hands. What do you think?
