Salt Prison
First of all I want to say that I believe in torture to an
extent. I think that torture is needed to obtain information that is important
to know. But there is a point when it is taken too far. This “torture dungeon”
call “Salt Prison” in Afghanistan was taken too far. These prisoners were
treated so poorly. Some were hung from the ceiling for 22 hours a day. There
are also reports that some of the prisoners were beaten until death. One in
particular was dragged around the building. When he died they found him with a
shirt on but no pants with cuts and bruises all over his body. It was stated
that he apparently dies from hypothermia. That is too extreme.

Okay as much as I think that torture us needed to a certain
extent, spending 80 million dollars to develop methods of torture is a little
extreme. I mean it is a lot of money but I guess if you look at it from a
different view they were trying to come up with new ways to torture without completely
harming the person they were torturing. But even with all this the government
spent 80 million dollars on this when they really didn’t even invent anything
new.’
This article is all about the support that the CIA’s torture
program received from other countries. It says in the article that over a
quarter of the world’s countries helped support the CIA with their torture
methods. I find this very surprising! You would think that other countries
would not want support this. The CIA however will not release the names of the
countries that supported the program. I believe this is because a lot of the
countries that people think wouldn’t do something like that are the countries that
are actually doing it.
