Pros And Cons Of Torture

Terrorism simply means unauthorized or unofficial use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. Most people tie that word with the word Muslim. Torture means the action or practice of inflicting severe pain on someone as a punishment or to force them to do or say something, or for the pleasure of the person inflicting the pain. Al Qaeda which is Arabic for “the base”, is a complicated international Islamist terrorist net that is made up of regional affiliate institution and clandestine structure with different degrees of communication with Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, this group’s principles and functioning leaders. Muslim extremists such as Al Qaeda want to perpetuate a campaign of terror against the United

No. As positioned down in certain treaties such as the Geneva Conventions, the UN Convention opposed to Torture and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the outlaw on torture or any other cruel act that is classified as inhuman or shameful treatment is complete, even in war times. As well as genocide, torture is the only crime that every state uses for most punishments, it doesn’t matter who did the crime or where.

The most recent one hundred Gitmo prisoners that have been released are the ones that are creating the most problems now that they are out (Fox analyst). The cost to house a detainee at Gitmo bay is about $800,000 per year. Obama was trying to save money by letting some of the prisoner’s cases be reviewed to see if they really are “technically” guilty. The “enhanced interrogation technique” should be used on the Gitmo bay prisoners because like I stated previously it is strictly a psychological mindset that while the water boarding is happening they are set to believe that they are drowning when they are not, making them want to talk and release information that will help solve some of the cases that has not been solved.
