Ethical Dilemma - Torture vs. American Ideals
Abstract
A huge ethical dilemma faces the country as well as the military these days; torture and its necessity in preserving National Security and the American ideal. This dilemma has the American public asking; how much like "them" do we have to become before we defeat them? This dilemma stems from the murkiness of having official and unofficial policies. If we are going to use physical coercion, then let's clearly state what kind, for how long, and most importantly who can do what. Young interrogators should be supervised, and interrogators should be the only people conducting interrogations. Interrogation is equal parts training, skill, and art. It takes time to develop interrogators.
