Prisoners of war shouldn’t be torture in any part of the world. Torturing someone is sick and inhumane. Plus it is against Amendment VIII (8).

When you torture someone it includes the act of pain or suffering, with the main purpose of obtaining information of the person or even a third person. When you torture someone you intimidate them, or discriminate them, and what you really do is that you get them angrier, and their allies can attack you back, causing even more damage to you.

War torture although it has proven effective to get information from prisoners it only leads to more violence, and hostility long gone after a war is over. War torture is a tool use by people who think short term, and not long term consequences.

War torture is encouraged by many countries, however; when you do such a thing you’re not thinking in long term consequences, because what happens is that the people that are being physically and psychologically tortured, are damaged; and this damage stay long after the war is over. Nobody should have gone thru the suffering, humiliation, and degradation of the human spirit, just because the other person thinks its right.

Sometimes people think that photos taken of prisoners of war being torture are not proofs that such a thing was done to them. Nonetheless, this people are wrong, because someone who captured the World’s attention was Lynndie England. This woman was send to jail, for taking photos and abusing prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad.

Torture is something heartless and it’s also against what a lot of things say. Not only people think that torture is bad, religion also thinks that torture is bad. And both United States and international law reflect the biblical mandate, social ethics commonly know as the Golden Ruler. Torture is unacceptable, and contrary to U.S and international legal norms. It’s also opposite to the U.S amendment VIII; which says, “excessive bail shall no be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment be inflicted”.

Wrapping this up, torturing is for people who think in short term, and not in long term consequences. The word torture doesn’t only apply to physical torture it also applies to physiologically being torture. Victims that are torture suffer long gone after the war is over, since they are humiliated and forced to do and says stuff that they had never imagine to do. And this is no good for the country that is doing this because then it gets published in the news and the country your doing this attack you back even harder.
