Dr. Shane Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 The point is that Bravus was saying the purpose of torture is to terrorize a population. If that was true... if that really was the purpose of torture... than the US would not be trying to hide it. We wouldn't need the International Red Cross to carry out the prisoners' stories of torture. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

carolaa Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 But it sounds like you are saying that the purpose of torture is to get information. Most psychologists I have heard agree that torture does not get reliable, accurate information. And some of them have said that the purpose of torture is not to get information but to get confessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolaa Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 From what I have heard, it sounds like there were no trained interrogators doing the interrogating/torturing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
