Torture and Enhanced Interrogation Techniques

Torture and enhanced interrogation techniques involve methods used during questioning to extract information, often by inflicting severe physical or psychological pain. Torture refers to intentionally causing extreme suffering, which is widely regarded as morally and legally unacceptable. Enhanced interrogation techniques are those claimed to be more aggressive than standard methods, such as sleep deprivation, stress positions, or waterboarding. While some argue they can produce quick answers, their use is controversial due to ethical concerns and questions about their effectiveness, as they may produce unreliable information and violate human rights standards.
