Torture is not affective!!!

The Washington Post reports: Persons being held in the CIA interrogation center at Bagram air base who refuse to cooperate, "are sometimes kept standing or kneeling for hours in black hoods or spray-painted goggles, according to intelligence specialists familiar with CIA interrogation methods. At times they are held in awkward, painful positions and deprived of sleep with a 24-hour bombardment of lights- subject to what are known as 'stress and duress' techniques." This according to http://www.counterpunch.org/hrw05042004.html. Have you ever stop to think that "intense interrogation techniques" are not effective or necessary for the United States? In my opinion every suspect that has commited a crime should be punished, but intese interrogation techniques are not effective. After the tragic disaster of 9/11, some people in the CIA decided to torture all al Qaeda people that tried to attempt terrorism in the United States. After couple years later George .W. Bush decided to investigate those from the CIA. The tourtures were not effective because those that were torture did not say the real names of those that are planing a terrorism against the United States.
If a criminal is about to be torture to say the truth obviously they are going to say anything to get of the torture. I am against torture because what other torture can their be than the one to stay in jail for the rest of a perons life. I also think torture should not be used in the United States. All crimials are actually torture being alive with the conceous of had killed alot of people. All those tools are not useful, their are many other things that students, and poor people need than to be spending money in torture tools. "We are land of the free" this is a quote that is used in United States, is it really true? if this true why is the CIA using torture. Well, people that have broken the law have to be punish.
In conclusion, intense intorigation techniques is not an effective way to take out truth from someone. There are other important things, like a way to stop terrorism, students that are in bad steps and criminals that are out of prison. The United State is "land of the free" than it should be equal and not to kill or torture anyone. There is no other tourture then to be an entire life in prison and with fault.
