I think that it is absolutely terrible that human beings can do this to other human beings I mean I understand holding them in containment but some of the stuff that they do to the terrorists is absolutely terrible.
Some of the things they did is probably harsh but the people doing them were just trying to do their job so they shouldn't blame the people that were doing their jobs.
People may have done some bad things, but some people just blow it out of proportion when they think of how to punish them. The things the are doing are crazy and very demoralizing.
I don't really think we should torture people like that to get information. There are better ways of getting the same results without being inhumane.
Many people could argue that doing these things to people isn't right and I think they aren't but something has to be done to get information from terrorists.
Even if they got results from these so called "Enhanced Interrogations" its still not very humane way to get information from someone.
What we are doing to these people in some ways isnt right. On the other hand we are doing what we have to do to bring justice to the criminals that are harmful to our country.
Yeah but is it fair to do that when we have them locked up and in our possession anyway?
