Eat, Pray, Torture

You know the world is becoming extremely disturbed when you need creative brainstorming on what kind of torture should be implemented. While reading the book Persepolis there comes a time when the reader is exposed to the horrors prisoners in Iran went through during the reign of the Shah. Instead of a description of what they did to prisoners during interrogations, let me present a page from the book(Warning: even though this page is a drawing, it is not suitable for children):

Seeing the ways in which people are tortured (not just in Iran but all over the world), just makes one think on how one has to kill a piece of their own humanity to accomplish such atrocities.

Malcolm X: Hey but hold on now, I do not agree with the interrogation methods you have just shown but one should understand that interrogation is still a necessary evil in the world we live in. One may argue on whether putting torture within an interrogation is acceptable or not; but there are some pros and cons- an example of a pro could be the interrogator being able to extract information much faster. An example of a con could be the interrogator receiving false information due to the prisoner's fear. At the end of the day one should ask themselves-what are they willing to give up in order to protect their people?

Lucio: You make a valid point Malcolm however if we had to watch the number of innocent people tortured because of some government or dictator's insecurities, the acceptability of torture for the "sake of the country" would be null and void. Millions of people have been brutally tortured because they believed in the freedom of their people, while many others have been forced to torture innocents due to the fear they have for their rulers. I know that some times to protect one may have to become something they are not, however there should be appropriate rules on how to interrogate prisoners because remember it will be impossible to help peace blossom when we keep planting seeds of hatred in the people we are suppose to protect.
