Torture is one of the most extreme methods of obtaining information; unfortunately it has been in use for centuries and is still widespread throughout the world.Thesis: Counterterrorism through interrogations is wrong and leads to false information.Scientific perspectiveIn 2006 the Intelligence Science Board, a civilian board that advises the Department of Defense of the United States on technical and scientific matters, stated that there was information to support the statement that torture produces reliable information. Shane O'Mara, a neurobiologist associated with Trinity College Dublin, analyzed the Bush administration's interrogation methods. O'Mara refers to techniques as "folk psychology" and "are unlikely to do anything other than the opposite of what coercive or 'enhanced' interrogation intended." To recall the data accumulated in the brain, it is necessary to activate the prefrontal cortex, the site intentionality and the hippocampus, where long-term memory is stored. When you are under stress, a hormone is released that limits cognition, including that contained in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. This was documented in a study of Special Forces soldiers who had been deprived of food and sleep, which significantly reduced their ability to recall previously retained information. O'Mara linked this phenomenon to waterboarding, stating that it is "an extreme stressor and has the potential to elicit widespread stress-induced changes in the brain." Under stress, the nucleus that stimulates fear and anxiety is activated and impairs the ability to differentiate. between true and false memories. As a result, torture triggers irregular patterns in the frontal and temporal lobes, subsequently impairing memory. As a result, a question... in the middle of the paper... thinks the questioner wants to hear."[4] Torture is not only ineffective in obtaining accurate and useful information, it also makes the process more difficult. future cooperation from that source. It is likely to be counterproductive since a defeated enemy is less likely to surrender if he understands that his captor will torture him, instead, he will resist, making his capture more costly encourages surrender (Conroy, 2000, p. 115 ) Furthermore, torture elicits far-reaching consequences by damaging the perpetrator's reputation, creating hostility towards civilians and the military, provides justification for retaliation against its population, and undermines the credibility of the nation when taking a moral stand on human rights. Any apparent benefits of enhanced interrogation must be weighed against these proven costs.
