Students Observing and Scrutinizing
What do you think about the use of torture in our “war on terror”?

Pamela Warren Business Administration 38	Angelina Juarez History 19	Amanda Smith Photo Journalism 18
“I feel that no one should be tortured at all. In my faith, I believe you should have mercy on everyone. I think they should go to trial and get punished that way.”	“We don't mistreat them. I don't think that we are hard enough on them, we apply the rules of engagement.”	“It's not right. I don't watch the news because it is just there to scare you. We shouldn’t ignore what is going on, but I don't think the news accurately depicts what is going on.”

“Only use torture as a last means. I agree with psychological torture, but physical torture isn't necessary all the time.”	“I think it’s horrible. The fact of war in itself is horrible. It just brings us down to their level.”	“Patriotism should be personal and not outspoken. Waving a flag doesn't mean that you are patriotic.”

Scott Meyer History 30	Mohamed Amiin Engineering 20
“I don't think they should do it. I think it is illegal. It is abuse and a double standard.”	“I am really against torture. I don't think you should torture prisoners of war.”
