My position i am choosing for my argument it Con on torture in Iraq. I don't believe that torture is the way to go about torture. There is torturing for information which is going to happen in war at one time of another that we the people cant handle but then there is torture for pleasure and fun which is what i am very much against. It is not right to the person being tortured or for the people watching it knowing that that is going to be them in a few hours. This is against the Human Rights Law in our Constitution and is just not right in general. If we are such a great and perfect country we should not be torturing people for the pure pleasure of seeing some one get so badly hurt that they can walk and or speak for the next couple of weeks. If we torturing for just pleasure that what kind of example is that going to show our enemy. They are going to want to do the same to us for retaliation and then we are going to be sorry that we even started torturing. I say we stop it now before it gets totally out of hand.

I agree with you, but only to a certain extent. Torture is only useful at appropriate times. Throwing the idea of torture around so loosely is inhumane. Be careful not to offend anyone with this topic eric<333
It's good that you are relating your topic of torture in war to the war in Iraq so that people can realate to it, however, if you can't get enough information specifically on the torture in Iraq, you could always broaden your topic to just the pro's of using torture in war in general
