    Should TORTURING Terrorists be okay?

    Since the danger wrought by terrorism can be quite cataclysmic does it stand to reason that 'normal standards' regarding interrogation be disregarded?

    Is the probability of a false confession greatly outweighed by the heavy risk terrorism carries?

    If you answer yes, don't you agree that an injustice to one is an injustice to all? Or should we be more flexible in how we think?

            Wouldn't the justice system be one of the first things terrorists would want to get rid of?

              I'm curious now - this would make you any better than the terrorists how? Simply because you're American?

                Terrorist does not = anarchist, even chaos has rules. Perhaps they would ger rid of our justice system. Theirs seems to be much more direct than ours, more an eye for an eye.

                    I read your first post and my question stands. Nobody in the west other than the US has a big enough problem with it at the moment or the attitude needed to even consider this an option. 99% of positive replies will be from US people. Not to worry though. You answered my question anyway.

                    Fuck - people trolling for sig views really aren't that talented any more.

                          Unless I'm mistaken, you seem to be comparing anarchism to chaos. Anarchist is another word for socialist libertarian. Noam Chomsky is an anarchist, but he's hardly calling for chaos. He simply wants to drastically reduce centralized power, both financially and socially, and both by goverrnment and big business.

                              I'm an American, but I would disagree respectfully with anyone that says we should torture terrorist. Not because of some lofty moral reason, but just because i doudt it would have the desired effect and it would just provide them more recruitment power.

                                This would make you better then the terrorists because you don't aim at killing innocent civilians

                                  I find it funny how many people want to fight those trying to take away western civil rights and freedom by taking away civil rights and freedom.

                                        how do you know a terror suspect is indeed a terrorist ? if you start torturing a suspect , he is just that a suspect

                                        torture is wrong , you cannot claim to be CIVILISED and do this ,

                                                Terrorists, military people working for corrupt regimes, and leaders of corrupt regimes, should NOT be tortured -- the should be killed humanly, either with a bullet in the head, leathal injection, or Zyklon B gassing.

                                                      Well, if you remember no one really complained when they were only torturing people at Gitmo and in Afghanistan, because even though most of them probably aren't terrorists, some are. Everyone turned a blind eye.

                                                      It's when they started torturing farmers, women and children in an county that did absolutely nothing that they crossed the line in most people's eyes.

                                                        Information derived from torture methods tends to be less reliable than from other coercive methods. If you are skinning someone alive, they will tell you anything to get you to stop.

                                                        The issue for the US in Iraq, is as Spaz said, the war in the middle east is one for "hearts and minds". What the war effort there has effectively failed at is claiming any kind of moral high ground needed to have a lasting positive effect.

                                                          Asides from the reliability/accuracy issue raised correctly by DrThorsen above, there's serious issues with using torture on a legal basis. The main reason we adhere to a system of LAW is that we realize that a reliance on sheer MIGHT can easily be perverted and twisted to the machinations of one man or a small group. Imperfect as the strictures against compelled self-incrimination...it is right.
