What is \u201ctorture lite\u201d the term, coined by the popular media, refers to<\/div>\n
sophisticated interrogation techniques that do not cause any clearly<\/div>\n
visible physical harms, as do more traditional forms of torture. Example<\/div>\n
of torture lite include sleep deprivation ,isolation, standing in stress<\/div>\n
position, noise bombardment ,humiliation, mock executions ,and<\/div>\n
subjecting the prisoner to heat and cold. Another notorious method is<\/div>\n
called water boarding: the suspect head is dunked into water or his head<\/div>\n
is wrapped in a wet towel to include the sensation of drowning. In<\/div>\n
contrast to traditional forms of torture in which pain is directly inflicted<\/div>\n
upon the victim by the interrogator techniques do not require contact<\/div>\n
between the interrogator and the victim at all.<\/div>\n
Advances interrogation techniques are employed by a number of<\/div>\n
democratic government, including the United States, as well as France a<\/div>\n
d the United kingdom. These methods are mainly used for the purpose of<\/div>\n
intelligence gathering. Democratic government do not permit the more<\/div>\n
classic form of torture because the Geneva convention forbids them.<\/div>\n
Torture lite, as some argue, is this the only legal resort and is sometimes<\/div>\n
necessary to prevent even greater harm. One important reason for<\/div>\n
employing lite techniques, for instance, has been to prevent future<\/div>\n
terrorist attacks. Since 9\/11, the use of these techniques has become<\/div>\n
more common. Torture lite has particular gained notoriety because of its<\/div>\n
employment at Guantanamo bay and Abu Ghraib.<\/div>\n
The primary defense for using these techniques is utilitarian in nature.<\/div>\n
It\u2019s supporter argue that by subjecting prisoners to these techniques we<\/div>\n
can gain important information that can prevent great harm to society.<\/div>\n
Thus, the pain and suffering of one individual (or a few) is pinned<\/div>\n
against the potential suffering of the many. This justification is often<\/div>\n
called the \u201cticking bomb scenario\u201d: imagine that there is a ticking bomb<\/div>\n
hidden somewhere that threatens to kill millions of people, and the only<\/div>\n
way to find the bomb and prevent these death is to apply torture lite to<\/div>\n
