Inputs requested for Arnie's Argumentative Essay
Arnie:
This was the topic that I was assigned. Naturally, I've done lots of research, but my instructor suggested including some field research...
Your input, opinion...and any references are appreciated (especially if they come from a credible website I have not encountered yet).
Thanks!
tomgallagher:
I just ask myself if my wife and children were being held hostage and this one person held the answer that would save them. The answer becomes quite obvious IMO.
Arnie:
Thanks Tom. That is bascially the theme of my thesis. However, a majority of the references I have encountered tap dance around the subject and really don't get messy with how it could benefit others...whether it be your family, a planned attack on a DDG, or a planned attack on American skyscrapers.

I say "Yes".... "War is Hell"............
Anyone that thinks our guys aren't tortured is fooling themself. Remember Daniel Pearl......
D.A.L.U.I.:
No. Torture is not a reliable means of developing useful information. Other than the development of information enemy combatants should be held in accordance with international conventions. The development of reliable information cannot be made from torture. Extensive questioning, reeducation and other similar non-abusive means although time consuming have a better probablity of providing useful intelligence. Torture may yield some viceral gratification to the person(s) doing the acts--but little else.
