While most people today are against torture, there are many people who think that it is still right. I personally am a bit on the fence with torture. I think the torture I the movie Rendition is a bit different than normal torture. In the movie the guy was from America and it did not seem as though the people doing the torturing ever had the right to keep him there. For some reason I sided with the man in the movie. In other cases I would say I am for torture. When a group of people commits terrorist acts against our country, I think it is right to be able to go back and torture those people. After 9/11 I think it was good that the US took people in from the Middle East and tortured them in hopes of getting the good information. In this case the people are not from our country and do not have as much closeness and Anwar did in Rendition. Also after being attacked on our own soil I think we as a country could not just sit back and watch what was going on. We needed to act. By acting, we decided to torture people who were possibly involved with the attacks and I believe there is nothing wrong with this. So as an over view I think rendition is wrong because the people are usually our own citizens, and I also think that torture on people linked to attacking us is fine because they do not have a close link to us.
