You should read the article that I linked. Miltary teachers believe torture almost always elicits bad or useless info. However, aside from that, have we forgotten that we got to this point in history where the free nations of the world dominate PRECISELY because we HAVE NOT made torture and mayhem a part of our society? Haven't we won because we have consistently been BETTER than them, not just in the size of our militaries, but in our will to fight for what is good and right because we know, as a whole, our society has been so much more worth fighting for than one where the governments torture and abuse anyone they perceive an enemy?

Whether we think torture is right or not, it has been and still will be used when needed. If you think that the US has not restored to torture many times, then you are completely wrong. There has been many cases or torture that even the public knows about, let alone what we don't know about. Not in all cases are we the ones doing the torturing but us sending our prisioners to Jordon where torturing is allowed to try to gain information for our beneifits is the same as us doing the torturing.

However, asking the question is torturing justified.. no it can't be, but are we and will we still try to use it to save lives, yes. The question is will we involve in our justice system.. for example giving a torture warrant? Given from the highest levels of goverment for only extreme cases, and if torture is done without this warrant the person who done it will be held responsible. Maybe if we had something like this in place it would cut down on the amount of unneeded torture that goes on. Such as at guantanamo prision.
Maybe something like this may help?


Thanks lead, i'll look into those.
