Torture Get's Her Done

This blog is intended for individuals that keep up with politics. The purpose of this blog is show whether or not being politically correct is always...correct.

US President Barack Obama reveals CIA's "top secret memos on interrogation techniques widely condemned as torture".

Now stop thinking what you were about to think. So you heard the word torture. You may say to yourself " Big bad America's hurting innocent people, and drowning them, and slapping them, and depriving them of sleep" (The information was released by the President himself), the truth is these men are not innocent. These men held captive are terrorist trying to break down the United States of America's security and harm American lives.

The CIA uses these methods also known as EIT (Enhanced Interrogation Techniques)to save lives. Although they are being punished for using such "harsh" methods, according to former head of US Central Intelligence Agency, the "inconvenient truth" is that it works. Under such condition, Abu Zubaydah, a head of Al-Qaeda, leaked valuable information to CIA officials, leading them to capture another head of Al-Qaeda.

You may not agree with America's version of torture, may it be drowning or sleep deprivation, and may not agree with Al-Qaeda's version of torture, be it sawing off the heads of American soldiers, but in the end it all comes down to what a nation is fighting for and what they are willing to do to obtain it. When it comes to war, both sides are trying, wanting to hurt the other party, to spill the beans on they're country. Torture get's the job done.

So unless there is way to stop war in it's self, torture may not sound so bad when hundreds of millions of lives depend on it.
