I don’t think there are times when torture should be used, because the people that are being tortured probably have been trained to withstand it, or lie. However Im not an expert in torture, and I don’t know anything about it. If the government has successfully gotten information out of terrorists who have been tortured, then I fully support it. I mean it’s definitely not ethical, but if it saves lives then it seems to be to worth it. That is if it does save lives, according to most people torturing is not very effective, so it rarely does any good for the country, and if that is the case, then I think it should be not allowed to happen, especially to people like it did in rendition, where they didn’t have any real solid evidence. Another reason I don’t really believe in torture, is Lost, the show, i've started watching it and Sayid, was a torturer for the republican guard in Iraq, and he’s just emotionally scarred from it. I don’t think its fair for the torturer, they are forced to injure this person, which is really sick, and it affects them for the rest of their life. Sayid gets kidnapped because people want revenge, they don’t realize that it isn’t the torturers fault, they were just following orders, and they shouldn’t be blamed.
