Torture

Everyday there seems to be new developments on this "torture issue" and I think that the issue continues to get clouded. It is not a question of weather torture produces quality intelligence and it's not a question of what is faster in the stupid ticking bomb scenario. The question is simply is it right? And the answer is no.

Now we are no longer engaged in using torture thanks to President Obama keeping a campaign promise but shouldn't there be some accountability for those who implemented torture as a justified method of interrogation? After all it was illegal when the Bush administration implemented this torture program.
