Ticking time bomb scenario

Is torture ever justified? Scholars in social psychology, sociology, history, and even literature whose ideas would help clarify the use of torture. Torture and dehumanization dates back centuries along the colonial era. George J Annas’ Post-9/11 Torture at CIA “Black Sites”- Physicians and Lawyers Working Together” uncovers the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee report and it’s hidden injustice. Charles B. Strozier’s Torture, War, and the Culture of Fear After 9/11 insist that torture has its tactical

terrorists disregard the law, the time-ticking bomb scenario, and the fact that torture can deter other potential terrorists. If torture becomes illegal, then terrorists will have no obligation to give up their information. Under normal circumstances, where the accused is kept in a safe environment with no physical or psychological detriments, the terrorist will

A terrorists broadcasts a video claiming he’s placed three bombs in three different locations around the United States, with 24 hour timers. The World goes into fear, panicking about their lives and families lives being in danger. The military takes quick action, pinpointing the broadcast location and having the man arrested in less than an hour. However, one thing that comes to mind is how to approach and negotiate with these terrorist in these types of situations. Questionnaires don’t work against

is a proponent of pragmatism.8 Posner has stated that torture should be used if it would work in a ticking time-bomb scenario.9 However, Posner’s statement is Boolean, allowing for torture only “if” it works in such a scenario. Such scenarios do not actually exist though.10 Even under pragmatism, while there might be some theoretical scenario where torture would be ethical, there is no real scenario where it would be

This is more than anyone can say for the improvised explosive devices or dirty bombs that the targets wish to unleash upon the people if given the opportunity. Death and destruction are their chief objectives while pain, anguish and suffering are their language of choice. Enhanced Interrogation Techniques have their situational uses. One major claim is the lauded Ticking Time Bomb scenario in which the case is laid out in a needs of the many versus the needs of the one format. The

Torture is one of the most extreme methods of eliciting information; unfortunately, it has been used for centuries and is still prevalent worldwide. Thesis: Counterterrorism through interrogation is wrong and leads to false information. Scientific Perspective In 2006 the Intelligence Science Board, a civilian board that advises the U.S. Department of Defense on technical and scientific matters, stated that there was information to support the declaration that torture produces reliable information

Enhanced Interrogation Techniques have their situational uses. One major claim is the lauded Ticking Time Bomb scenario in which the case is laid out in a needs of the many versus the needs of the one format. The premise as given by Bob Brecher is thus, “Suppose there is good reason to think that someone has planted a bomb in a public place. And

Torturing has been around for ages, from ancient Egypt with their slaves up to this date. Torturing can sometimes be described as interrogation so to disguise the harsh implications that we know as torturing. Even when it is called interrogation it does include some sort of physical and mental infliction and damage. We know torture these days to get information from captives, especially in the war against terrorism. With all the research, I did for this argument in this class I change my belief as

Similarly the ‘ticking bomb scenario’ is a deception (is deceiving). It illustrates an ideal situation where: the national security officers have knowledge about the bomb being planted and time of detonation; they arrested the person that holds all the information needed; the person will tell the truth and give information before the explosion of the bomb. It is impractical as people can give unreliable information under torture in order to stop the practice. The presented scenario it is not impossible

reasons why torture is unacceptable. Reason 1: Hurting people is wrong, especially if they did not do anything or know anything. Reason 2: Peace, Love, and Harmony are the things people are fighting for and why wreck it if we fought for it for a long time and still haven’t achieved it. Reason 3: Traumatic experiences of torture, which could make the victim want to torture someone else like the bullying theory. My first reason why I say hurting innocent people is wrong, especially if they didn’t do
