Torture

In the Webster's dictionary it is defined as: an infliction of severe physical pain as a means of punishment or coercion. I think this definition makes more sense and gives the word more meaning. When we took a look at some of the gruesome pictures of torture that made me think there is absolutely no reason for this. I found it amazing that people can do such things and not even have a reason behind it. But, when you take other situations and don't dramatize them so much something I feel torture is ok.

I find the question you are looking for very hard. When I really think about my answer I find myself contradicting myself. If I think about someone holding my family hostage and threatening them and my only answer was to torture the individual to get my family back your damn right I would. All in all, I really should say no there is no reason to torture someone in any situation. It's violating someone's human rights.

I think there are so many types of torture that it's so hard to define.
