Torture is a subject that I only heard in war stories and though to be surreal. that only happens to war captives and cannibals. we are working on our papers for class and i chose this topic. you may think i'm morbid or weird but its fasinating to me. i like learning about WWII becuase the history shoes you the effect of torture and inequality.
Im a forensic science major, and alot of the things i will be dealing with arent pleasent, fluffy things. the criminal justice classes teach on the laws that prohibit U.S. citizens from being tortured in interegation rooms. there are many forms of interigation techniques. physical violence, emiotional, mental. also the good cop bad cop rutine is a form of interigation. in many parts of the world torture is the price prisonors of war face and have faced in previous wars.
Im not much of a TV watcher but there are some showes that i rather enjoy. one of these showes is NCIS. In season 7 there is an episode were a women of the muslum faith attachs Ducky ( the Cheif Medical Examiner on the show). through out the episode ducky is reminded of a Afgani refugee that he frequently gave medical attention to while he was in the Royal Army Medical Corps on the borders of Pakistan- Afgani boarder, in the lated 1980's. Ducky talkes about an officer called 'Mr. Pain'. he would beat and torture the afgani men to get information, but this one that Ducky took care of Mr. Pain would practicly kill him so ducky could watch him vertually die while trying to save him. even though its a TV show it has truths to it. I know were i stand on torture. Its wrong and its not humane!
my question is this... does using torture as an interigation technique; 1st diminish the reliability of the informaiton extracted from the 'prisoner'? and 2nd do these intence interegation techniques corrod the people and the country that allows such inhumane things to happen?
