WE SHOULD NOT USE TORTURE ON SUSPECTED TERRORISTS Torture‚ as a simple definition‚ is the action or practice of inflicting severe pain on someone as punishment or in order to force them to do or say something. When we see it done on our TV screens we think it’s revolting; we find it hard to watch‚ even though it’s faked and censored in comparison to actual methods used.

However‚ they are so passionate about their cause; such information is not easily obtained. Therefore‚ the United States has the right to torture prisoners of war (suspected terrorists) in order to acquire vital information that is required to protect our country and its citizens.
