Politics: Torture Debate

As most of people know, there has been lots of debate about torture in the news lately.  I’d like to hear what FILTER readers think about the whole mess!  It seems that there are so many arguments both supporting and opposing sides.

-Should the US and its allies be engaging in torture?  

-Should we prosecute those who ordered/okayed torture and give them the same treatment as those ‘bad apples’ who we later found out  were ‘just following orders’?  

-Should we as a society give war crimes “a pass” as suggested by some politicians and pundits in the media?  

-Should Obama continue to block the photos that are due for release this month?  

Please share your thoughts in the comment section!

I don't get why the president is not interested in prosecuting American war criminals. The US had no problem with this after world war two.
