Is Torture Justified?, University Paper.. Options

[Slimshady]

I'm writing a paper and whether or not torture is a justifiable act. I just wanna hear some your opinions, later i'll put up some scenarios to see how you fell about them.

Thanks

In regards to Saddam's capture, not only did they mention the use of friendly intel but also used info gained from prisoners. This was in the media and a great special on History channel. I think it was called "Path to Saddam" or something.

Saddam's sons were captured through friendly intel. Read my statement again from the earlier post.

We captured Saddam and killed his sons through intelligence gained from friendly and interigation methods.

In regards to where I get my info, I assume wherever I get any information to support my opinions, you'll just debunk it with "Bush Terror Spin" theories. Again, I'm not for chopping fingers off really... just anything that will save more lives down the road. I'm for more pacifistic means of torture such as sleep and hunger deprivation. What's wrong with that? Don't call me a terrorist or compare what I'd like done to being just like Al Queda. I just want to save lives and if possible, live in peace.

All and all, I'm sure the war media has been spun to the govt's advantage. I have a few buddies in Iraq, a few in Afghanistan, and one about to be shipped off to Iraq. I get a lot of my info from them and find it extremely interesting to hear straight from the horse's mouth. Yes, they don't want to be there... just like you didn't want to be in summer camp away from home. They are homesick, they dont' like be shot at, etc. All and all, they think they are making a difference and enjoy most of the Iraqi's that they've met over there. They want it to be over just like I do, but they're doing a job that they're being told to do.

Sorry if we don't meet eye to eye, I didn't expect everyone to agree with my opinion.
