Interrogation In The Military

they were still faithful soldiers who still believed in the strength of their country. If they had

In the Criminal Justice system, the main goal is justice or in other words, a fair consequence to match a criminal action. An obvious, yet unmentioned underlying goal is to prevent injustice. Many times, justice prevails, and this is why our system prevails today. However, when justice fails, it is key to look at the information offered in order to better the system and to repay those that have been failed by it. One area that has shown itself as flawed is the area of interrogations though many other areas will be presented throughout this paper as well. By examining five cases involving questionable interrogation and showing other system flaws, I will enlighten others as to how our justice system handles its flaws, and hopefully I will

The military and the government security organs normally apply numerous methods in obtaining critical information about criminal activities. Some of these techniques are considered acceptable by the human rights and other non-governmental organizations while others are considered as violating the human rights as stated by the constitution of major countries and states. There has been a strong debate on the use of these techniques and many have defined them as torture.

In the US, police often use the Reid Technique during interrogations. This technique was designed to elicit confessions from suspects. However, this technique can also lead to false confessions. One such case was the case of Michael Crowe, who was accused of murdering his sister. Michael, who was 14 at the time, was questioned by investigators until he eventually confessed to the murder, which he did not commit.

U.S. Supreme Court’s main concern can be seen in their conclusion regarding the process on in-custody interrogation. Due to the fact that such a process entails pressures that work to undermine an individual’s will to resist and to compel him to speak where he would not otherwise do so freely (3), was a main concern of the Supreme

He’s acting like he is innocent and that he never did such a thing, when in reality he actually sent a man to death. General Macarthur also demonstrates his guilt

All primary sources are subjective; they are based on the source’s recollection and how it is remembered in their own memory. The importance of storytelling is one of the main premises in the Things They Carried. Telling a story is an illustration of memory, and memory is prejudice. "By telling stories, you objectify your own experience. You separate it from yourself. You pin down certain truths" (158). Each soldier is going to have different memories, but most of their experiences are so similar they seem to form a universal truth and a collective memory of all their stories.

World War II General George S. Patton reflected, “These men suffered enough for a hundred lifetimes, and no one in this country should be allowed to forget it.” The men he is referring to were part of a tactical unit called the Ghost Army. They all could have died if even one thing went wrong. The Ghost Army was part of the 23rd Headquarters Special troops. This organization was top secret until 1996. These men and missions are still spoken of and remembered to this very day (“23rd Headquarters Special troops”). The Ghost Army spent a long time making a plan that would lead the Allied troops to victory. They mapped out everything and made sure everything was perfect. They all had their special strategic skills.

In August of 2002, without consulting Congress, the Bush administration changed the definition of torture by military standards to allow for previously illegal interrogation techniques. (Inside Guantanamo) Bush lost a lot of respect from American citizens for doing this on his own instead of consulting Congress because it added a lot of suspicion that he was trying to hide something. The Pentagon organized the interrogation techniques into three categories. The first one included yelling and deception techniques and the second included sensory deprivation, isolation, stress positions, extensive interrogation, hooding, clothing removal, and the use of phobias. The third and most severe category included waterboarding and even death threats. (Greenberg 221) Bush wanted justice to be served to the men who planned and carried out the deaths of thousands of innocent Americans in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He thought the families of the thousands killed that day deserved that justice. Soon after, President Bush sent 14 men to Guantanamo Bay so that justice could be served to them by the military commissions he had proposed. They were to be put under the custody of the CIA where they would get what Bush thought they deserved and thanks to the Bybee Memo, Bush had complete, unlimited power when it came to core war matters such as this. While constitutional, the actions of the Bush administration as he went behind Congress’s back and came up with a new definition for torture

An examination of the patrol officer’s jobs and duties took place. The gathering of information and interviewing a seasoned patrol offer assisted in this examination. The city in which the patrol officer works is also studied. Research of the city of Hueytown’s population and history helped to understand the demographics and crime within the city. While Hueytown’s violent crimes are low, thefts and burglaries rank the highest. Communities, including the city of Hueytown, place patrol officers on the streets in order to protect and serve. Officer Louis Phillips, Jr. gave an interview that takes an in depth look at his journey as a patrol officer.

I also think about those involved in the war itself. Like the Tuskegee airmen, horribly and extremly prejudised agianst, and yet previaled like an american flag in the harsh wind. People had told them that they were unequip to handle combat, and were plain old stupid. Despite this the Tuskgee Airmen did amazingly, not failing many missions, and not losing as many men as other platoons. In the eyes of american people, today and now, the Tuskgee Airmen are heros, and did not deserve of the cruel prediction they were given. Also think of the people who had to drop the atomic bombs on Japan, the thought s that must have run through their heads, as they new the people below were mainly civilians. They knew what was right for their countriees and also knew what was right in their morale.

Over 90 witnesses spoke of the event that had happened that night. Soldiers are set to go on trial within a month, many hope that they are

Good morning ladies , hope this finds you well today. When doing CSA authorizations I know we have been entering them for the duration of what the authorization says; however moving forward we need to enter the authorizations on a month to month bases . I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, this is our only choice. Therefore if we have an authorization for six months from the CSA then we must enter six separate authorizations into carelogic on a month to month basis.

The law of interrogation in the United States is mainly a product of United States Supreme Court cases interpreting the U.S. Constitution. Three parts of the Constitution regulate interrogation practices. The most apparent regulation is found in the Fifth Amendment right not to be compelled to incriminate oneself. The U.S. Supreme Court also found in the Due Process Clause of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments a right not to be coerced into confessing. The Court read the Sixth Amendment right to the assistance of counsel to offer protection against interrogation in some situations. Each of these rights supply a slightly different protection, but together they seek to ensure that a suspect makes an uncoerced decision
