CIA Dishonesty

Just recently the senate has released their report on the investigation of the CIAs methods of interrogation. They found out that the CIA has been dishonest about what they have been saying they’re doing to Middle Eastern terrorists who they have been trying to get information out of. Waterboarding a well-known interrogation technique was used and the medical personal present voiced alarm saying water boarding has been cut down to, “a series of near drowning’s”. Also they did something called “rectal rehydration”, and if you want to know what that is you can look it up for yourself. There were dozens of cases that were brought to light where the CIA deceived the people in charge at the white house and did things without permission. Some people say that there was a fine line in whether or not these acts were done out of revenge or justice. Many of these CIA personnel responsible for interrogation had strong emotions about 9/11 and they could have been “torturing” out of vengeance rather justice. This was another problem with this type of interrogation. A lot of people disagree, saying “torturing” is not necessary and that it is morally wrong. Let’s think for a minute the deep hatred and animosity that the people we’re “torturing” feel for Americans, and how their goal in life is to kill Americans. I’m not saying that it is justified because of these reasons but I understand why the CIA is doing it. Although “torturing” is not a moral act in my opinion, I think the ends justify the means. “Torturing” some middle easterners to get some information that can save thousands of lives in my opinion is ok. These people hate us and want to kill us is it that bad to “torture” them. I think the only wrong done here was the dishonesty of CIA and how they went about things they should get prosecuted for their dishonesty. But on the aspect of “torturing” I agree and think that the ends justify the means.
