cerberus21 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 People say the end justifies the means. If you agree with that statement, and torturing someone saves a large number of lives, you probably have no problem with torture. If you disagree with the sentiment, you probably think torture is a disgusting, animalistic way of handling things. I think it depends on the situation. If someone is planning a massive attack, or an event that would kill a large group of people, and you know that the attack can be stopped if the person you have in custody talks, torture is acceptable to me. If you are unsure that your source knows the information needed to stop the attack, even just a small nagging doubt, or if the situation isn't nearly that serious, then torture is unnecesary and cruel. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact studies have shown that it is LESS SUCCESSFUL then other coercion methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mets 'n' Mox5 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 torture is a thousand billion times worse than torment. Torment is verbal abuse. Torture is physical abuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark One Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Torture has a legal definition. Torment does not. However, torment is not necessarily limited to verbal abuse. It just indicates something displeasureable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
