Questionnaire

WS8. Most countries have agreed to rules that prohibit torturing prisoners. Which position is closer to yours?
1. Terrorists pose such an extreme threat that governments should now be allowed to use some degree of torture if it may gain information that saves innocent lives.
2. Clear rules against torture should be maintained because any use of torture is immoral and will weaken international human rights standards against torture.
