Torture,Is it ever acceptable?

Torture should be done only when other methods fail to prevail. A psychology negotiator should be called upon to ask the person (in this case the bomb). I believe it would be much easier to persuade a person using psychology than to force him to reveal the truth. Human being is naturally stubborn and tend to fight back if he or she is forced upon a torture. We all have an instinct to protect our safety, dignity and personal space. Torturing is also not applicable to a person who has a very strong resistance towards it. They would not say a thing, even though a pistol is put on his or her head. I always think that talking and persuading is the best way of negotiation.

I don't agree with torture, I am not convinced it would get the truth anyway, I think people would say anything to get people to stop being tortured..I know some crimes makes one think it would be the best but i am not sure it works that way.

Torture is never, in any circumstances right. I think that Obama has done right by forcing GB to shut down within one year. I don't feel any of those practices led us to any real accomplishments. I'm ot sure how we as humans felt a need to condone these types of actions. Perhaps it is something that stems from something basal, but you don't see many in the animal kingdom "torturing" others of their species.
