Torture can be vital to the self-defense and even the offence of an entire country. Just because a person is suspected of terrorism, does not mean that they are. It may cause fear within the people and make them feel vulnerable to being seen as a terrorist.

Is the use of torture on suspected terrorists Justifiable?
A simplified definition for torture is the forceful extraction of information from individuals using violent motivation while the tortured individual is defenseless. I know that this method of information gathering can be vital to the self-defense and even the offence of an entire country. Terrorists can carry vital information on the whereabouts of their next target, weapon force, base of operations, total member count, and other aspects that may give the other country the complete advantage. This may help the US defend better against tragic attacks such as the ones on 9/11. But there is also the question of morality and innocence. Just because a person is suspected to be guilty of terrorism, does not mean that they are. If the military/police were to torture an innocent individual that was suspected of terrorism, the citizens may come to fear and hate the law enforcers and defenders of their own country. This could cause panic and distrust between people and government, bringing about the collapse of the civilization we were so desperately trying to protect. All exaggeration aside, it may cause fear within the people and make them feel vulnerable to being seen as a terrorist. It may also affect tourism and immigration into the US, which is the country of interest for this particular report. Foreigners may feel threatened, because to the public and other countries, it may seem like Americans see anyone who is not a US citizen is seen as a potential threat. This information comes from comparing terrorism to other similar; violent events and practices that have happened within the US in the past. This includes the way that our defense has dealt with riots and other violent situations within my lifetime as seen on the news and other media. Other sources include documentaries and television shows. I have also used knowledge that I have acquired from cartoons, and pop-up books. I chose this subject because I have had an interest in the morals and justifiability of torture since I learned what torture was. Even in my religion (Catholicism) there is question as to whether or not it is acceptable under any circumstances, so I felt that with this report I might be able to find an answer that I can justify with my own thoughts. I do not like to be told what to do, so I like to look deeper into contradictory subjects in my faith, and I find it fascinating how close-minded and conflicting these subjects are to people who do not understand why they are unacceptable/ frowned upon in the Catholic faith. I like to weasel around the close-mindedness to see these subjects in a way that works both ways, because I absolutely despise not being able to understand both sides of an argument. This may be why I chose this subject. Or it could be my disgustingly neutral and passive personality screaming for me to write a report with arguments for both sides, but with no clear answer. I also chose this subject because I would like to know more about torture and how the US deals with terrorists, seeing as I want to work in crime analysis and law enforcement. Although it will be somewhat controversial, I believe that I will have enough motivation to do this project as I have to wake up, so I should be able to somehow complete it somehow.
